Are doulas welcomed in the hospital and are medical professionals comfortable with doulas?
Yes. Birthing Hands doulas strive to establish good working relationships with the doctors, midwives and medical staff whose patients we support. We know that open communication, mutual respect, professionalism, and trust creates a birthing team that totally supports a laboring mother. We believe there is never a good reason for creating an antagonistic atmosphere in the labor room. Our doulas are there to support the mother, her husband/partner, and her family. We offer comfort and focus our attention on the non-medical techniques that allow the laboring mother to relax and surrender to her body’s natural rhythms.
