When many people think of Doulas, their minds immediately go to the Nature Goddess idea of an unmedicated home birth. But that’s neither the beginning, nor the end of a Doula’s wheelhouse. Birth Coaches (and Labor Doula’s) are just as comfortable in birth hospitals as they are in birth centers and at home. They go where the deliveries go, and they’re comfortable because their JOB is to make new parents comfortable. They educate, inspire, and encourage. If you want medication, no medication, a birth pool, chanting, cursing, silence, music, a Doula’s job is to help give you the birth you want, and the safest birth for your baby.
