What Is Included In Doula Service?
Typically a doula will meet with a couple for about an hour 2-3 times during pregnancy. These visits cover getting to know each other, any questions the couple might have, and discussing birth plans. Once labor begins the doula will provide continuous support until an hour or two after the birth. This support might begin in the mother’s home before going to the hospital or it might begin at the hospital. Doula service usually includes one post-partum visit at the mother’s home to admire the baby and discuss the birth.
