Choosing to hire a doula for your journey into motherhood means having the continuous support of a woman who is experienced in childbirth and who will remain by your side throughout your birthing experience. Despite their individual desires, due to busy schedules and intense workloads, most obstetricians and nurses are unable to provide this type of support to the laboring women in their practice. A doula works to support her clients in addition to their primary caregiver (obstetrician, midwife) by providing physical and emotional comfort measures, including massage, acupressure, aromatherapy, positioning, movement, breathing and so much more.
Doulas are making history in the world of labor and birth!
The truth is, women are wanting to be cared for in birth and labor. Birth without fear plays a significant role in the process, and with the right support, women can be empowered with the confidence and assurance that they need, they're bodies working with them (not against them), creating a joyful experience for women in labor. We need a new understanding of care when it comes to how we approach pregnancy in the Western World, and I believe doulas are making THAT difference!
For years...I mean years!!! Over centuries of women birthing babies, we have historically found women empowering women in the birthing process, and there's good reason! In the future posts of this blog it is my desire to bring resources, education, and enrichment to the birthing experience whole. From the moment of conception to the day of connection with your beautiful baby, I'm here to ride along this beautiful process called LIFE! Join me in this journey, and we can grow together in a better future for birthing women and families all around.
Love,
Crystal
