What's Included in Birth Doula Services?

Each doula on the Detroit Dreams Tonight team offers a unique variety of support and services which typically include:

• Prenatal Visits: Personalized consultations to discuss your birth preferences, address any fears or concerns, and establish a strong relationship of trust with your birth doula.

• On-Call Availability: Your doula is available 24/7 as your due date approaches, ensuring continuous support whenever you need it most.

• Labor and Birth Support: Continuous presence during labor and delivery, offering comfort measures, advocacy, and informational and emotional support.

• Back-Up Support: All doulas on our team are required to enlist the support of a backup doula.

• Postpartum Follow-Up: After your birth, your doula will provide a follow-up visit to offer breastfeeding assistance, emotional support, and guidance as you navigate early parenthood. Your doula remains on call for a few weeks after birth for virtual support as well.

Here's why birth doula support is invaluable:

• Continuous Support: From the moment you choose your birth doula match, she is there for you - providing emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum.

• Advocacy: Your birth doula can prepare you to advocate for yourself in labor and helps ensure your voice is heard and your choices are respected throughout your pregnancy and birth experience.

• Comfort Measures: Your doula is specifically trained in a variety of comfort techniques including massage, breathing exercises, natural pain relief techniques, and positioning to help you relax and promote a smoother birth.

• Empowerment: Empowerment lies at the heart of a birth doulas care. Your Detroit Dreams doula will equip you with the knowledge, confidence, and resources necessary to make informed decisions and embrace your own unique birth experience.
