Celebrate Birth

Celebrate Birth offers Birth Doula services to expectant moms. We are dedicated to celebrating pregnancy and birth through education and support. Call today for a free consultation to see how a doula can support you!

Having a Labour Doula has repeatedly been shown in research to significantly improve a woman's satisfaction with her birth, including reducing the need for interventions, pain medications, cesaraen births and post partum disorders. It has also been shown to increase breastfeeding success and bonding with your new baby!

What, exactly, does a Doula DO?

Great question! A doula supports a mother-to-be and/or her partner through pregnancy to acquire all the resources she needs to educate herself about her pregnancy and birth.

A doula will also stay with the mother through the entire birth of her baby, helping her support person(s) to work together to give her the best experience possible. She may suggest and provide comfort measures during the birth such as massage, position changes, encouraging words, as well as providing practical help with snacks and staying hydrated. A doula will also stay with the new mother for a couple hours after the birth to assist with lactation if desired, showers, eating, and of course bonding!

After the new mother comes home the doula will check in with her for at least 6 weeks to make sure everyone is adjusting well and provide any additional support resources required.

A doula works to support the mother's choices for her birth, and works with Midwives, OB, home/water births, hospital or birth centers.
