Birth Doula Services
We can discuss my availability and the cost of a package to suit your individual requirements.
I also accept instalments to ease the cost.
Your family and friends can purchase Doula gift vouchers from Doula UK, or if you are experiencing financial hardship, you may be eligible for free support through the Doula UK Access Fund.
As your birth doula I will support you continuously through labour and birth. I’ll be on call for you and arrive at your home or hospital and remain until after the baby is born.
My aim is to maintain a calm and peaceful energy in the your birthing environment. When women are cared for during childbirth by a kind, gentle and reassuring presence, someone who knows them and respects their wishes, they feel safe and tend to give birth more quickly and easily.
My comprehensive Birth Doula package includes:
- Usually 2 antenatal visits to discuss your birth preferences, expectations, birth physiology, parenting, any previous birth experiences and just to get to know each other. It is also important to meet your partner as I am there to support them as well.
- I will be exclusively on-call 24/7 for 2 weeks before your guess date until your baby arrives and you can call me anytime of the day or night
- I will support you throughout your labour until your baby is born and stay with you for a few hours afterwards until you are content for me to leave
- Usually one postnatal visit to ensure you are happy after the birth of your baby and to chat through the birth.
- Unlimited texts, email and telephone support throughout your pregnancy
- Access to my library of books, use of TENS machine
- Signposting to relevant agencies, websites, contacts, if relevant
- Hire of a birth pool if required
- Hire of a cub birthing stool if required
- Hire of a TENS machine if required
- Hire of Birth Sling if required
- Optional HypnoBirthing course
