We recommend beginning your research and contacting us during your first trimester. Why?
#1: Resource for Building Your Prenatal Team
We know all the local doctors, midwives, hospitals, birth centers, physical therapists, lactation consultants, etc. After consulting with you, we can give you a list of personalized recommendations that fit your needs as you have communicated them to us.
#2: Building Relationship During Pregnancy
Your doula isn’t just a random person who shows up when you go into labor. We call you, text you, and meet with you multiple times during your pregnancy. We know you - your partner, your birth plan, your fears, your hopes, and how you want us to touch you, coach you, and advocate for you during labor.
#3: Preparation for Birth
The labor you want won’t just happen - you need to prepare for it! Your doula can teach classes, recommend books and podcasts, teach you stretches and positions for labor, and provide you with positive affirmations and encouragement throughout your pregnancy leading up to the actual birth.
Early 1st Trimester: Start thinking about what you want for your labor & delivery and reach out to your doula
Late 1st/Early 2nd Trimester:
Officially hire your doula
Late 2nd/ Early 3rd Trimester:
Take your childbirth classes
3rd Trimester: Birth plan meeting with doula
What if I’m Late to the Game?
The next best time to hire a doula is TODAY.
Reach out - we’ll discuss with you and do our best to fit you in!
There are still so many benefits to doula support at the end of your pregnancy, during labor, and during postpartum.
Reach out to us today - we can't wait to meet you :)
