Perinatal Support
The perinatal period Includes the time before and after birth, typically divided into three phases: prenatal (before birth), intrapartum (during birth), and postpartum (after birth). This period is characterised by significant physiological, psychological, and social changes for both the birthing person and their family
Doula support
The perinatal period is a sacred and transformative journey that deserves compassionate and holistic support. Doulas play a vital role in nurturing individuals and families throughout this journey, offering emotional, informational, and practical support during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. By honouring individual preferences, nurturing, empowerment, and providing continuous care, doulas contribute to positive birth experiences and promote the well-being of birthing persons and their families.
Holistic Support
In pregnancy, doulas provide emotional guidance, evidence-based information, and advocacy, empowering individuals to make informed decisions. During labour, they offer continuous physical and emotional support, employing comfort measures and facilitating partner involvement. Postpartum, doulas offer emotional support, practical assistance, and resource referrals, easing the transition into parenthood.
