MY ROLE IS TO PUT YOU AT

THE CENTRE OF ALL I DO

My Complete Birth Doula Service will fully prepare you for Labour & Birth & help to equip you for the adjustment to life with a new baby.

​

My compassionate care & commitment to you begins in pregnancy, continues throughout the duration of your Labour & Birth, then extends until your baby is 8 weeks old.

​

My focus is to help you to have a relaxed pregnancy, a positive, safe birth experience without fear & a calm, relaxed supportive postnatal period.

RESEARCH TELL US THAT OVER 90% OF WOMEN HAVING A HEALTHY PREGNANCY

 are able to have an uncomplicated Birth without needing any medical intervention & having continued physical & emotional support in labour from a Doula makes birth safer and healthier for mother and baby.

​

Some women have complex needs in pregnancy, and for some women a caesarean or assisted birth may become a medical necessity.

​

I ease any concerns by working in collaboration with Health Professionals ensuring mothers receive optimum care & have their preferences respected without undermining medical advice or guidance.

​

Whether you have a straightforward physiological Labour & Birth or a highly medicalised one, with the right information, preparation & support you can have a positive & deeply satisfying Birth experience.

​

I do not judge or critisise your choices on how you prefer to labour birth or parent. I offer evidence based & impartial information & fully support your decisions.​

Gaining Birth Preparation knowledge from our sessions learning about how Birth actually works, will instill confidence in you to achieve a satisfying Birth experience & will make a straightforward physiological Birth more likely.

​

During these 2, 2 hour Sessions we will discuss such things as, previous births, maternity services,  the role of hormones in labour & birth. Caesarean, induction & assisted birth if this is applicable to you.

​

What your partner's role is likely to be, self help methods, comfort measures & pain management options. We will look at how to avoid interventions for a physiological birth, the importance of your birth environment, how to get your baby into an optimal position for birth & the best way to release any anxiety, tension or fear.

​

I can show you, Hypnobirthing breathing, relaxation & massage  techniques for Labour & how best to create a supportive birth room to encourage straightforward Labour & Birth, a planned 'Gentle' Caesarean (1)  Video (2) or a calm, relaxed Induction, if either become necessary.

​

We also discuss the Postnatal period, normal newborn behaviour, The 4th Trimester, Baby Sleep Patterns, all aspects of feeding, newborn care, & what to expect for you & your baby in the postnatal period.

​

It is also an opportunity to get to know me, I can answer any questions & address any concerns you may have. By the time you go into labour I want you to have confidence in your birth, feeding & postnatal plans, feel you have the ability & strength to cope with whatever birth experience you & your baby need.

​

I will be by your side supporting you & your

partner every step of the way.
