How can a doula help you?
Whether you are having a homebirth or delivering at Morristown Medical Center, a doula can help...
- Prenatally - before its baby day we take the time to discuss your hopes, fears, and birth plan. I'll be there to teach you and your partner many different comfort measures. We'll talk through all your options, and discuss your rights.
- As the day approaches- we keep in contact, discuss what is happening at your appointments, and continue to build a relationship of mutual trust.
- On call- From 38 weeks on until your baby is born I will be on call 24/7 for your birth.
- When you are in labor - I provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support, so you never feel alone, and have a skilled, experienced person at your side who is there exclusively for you and your family. Depending on the situation, I'll meet you at home or at Morristown Hospital.
- Your partner - One of the most important jobs I have is to help you and your partner feel more connected than ever before. I am very conscious of strengthening your bond as you welcome your new baby to the world. This is the birth or rebirth of you both as parents to your amazing little human.
- If you don't have a partner - I can take on your primary support role, focusing only on you and any others you invite into your birth space.
- After the birth - I remain with you for 1-2 hours, until you are all settled, baby has been fed, and it becomes apparent you're ready for some family alone time. As an experienced breastfeeding counselor of over six years I can help you get things off to a good start, or we can go over other feeding options as well.
- Postpartum- I visit you usually within 2 weeks of your baby's birth. We can chat, discuss the birth, admire your little one, continue with breastfeeding counseling and newborn care, or even other small household tasks. If you've decided on a Bengkung Belly Bind we can also wrap you at your postpartum visit.
Cindy helped make our birth experience so much calmer and less stressful than we had worried about. I knew I was in great hands. She gave great information when I needed It, and knew when I needed space or extra help. When my labor stalled after getting to the hospital, she knew how to help me get myself back on track. My partner was worried I wouldn't need him if I had a doula, but Cindy brought him in time an again. After my son was born she helped us latch and was so encouraging. We couldn't have done this without you!
