Cincinnati Birth & Postpartum Doula Services
Birth Doula Support
As your doulas, we are there for you with advocacy, education and emotional support. We help prenatally with birth planning, personalized comfort techniques and helping with research to find the right birthing education for you. We remind you of your strength and that pregnancy and birth are a normal process.
During your birth, we create a calming atmosphere in the room while keeping your senses calm (sight, smell, hearing etc). Counter pressure, gentle movement and encouragement are all effective methods of comfort as well. We will definitely help your partner stay informed and involved in the birthing process as much as they want to be. Partners are vitally important!
