Doulas Make Birthing Easier

Certified doula Jeneé Claridge says, “My experience has been that a lot of mamas wait to find a doula until they reach their last trimester. To provide the best support for each mama’s individual needs, interviewing and hiring a doula sooner in pregnancy could possibly be more beneficial for a mama and her support partner.”

            Creating a familiar support system for a mother can help her feel more empowered and confident in her birthing journey. Doulas provide familiar and consistent mental, emotional and physical support with our magical bag filled with comfort measures and techniques in a hospital, birthing center, or home birth setting.

            “As your doula, I provide two prenatal meetings to answer all your questions and concerns, educate you and your partner with techniques and comfort measures that are helpful during labor, and if needed, help set up your space for labor, birth, postpartum and so much more,” says Claridge. “I am on call 24 hours starting at 38 weeks, and continue to provide two hours of support after your baby’s arrival, along with a postpartum follow-up, when mama is ready."
