Birth Doula Support Packages
Starting from £1500...
There are a number of birth doulas in the Womb & Bloom collective, each offering individual and unique ways in which they work, at different price points.
We can help connect you to the doula for you if you get in touch with your estimated due date/month and postcode.
We will send you any doulas that have availability so you can decide which one is the right fit for you, your family and wishes.
The word “doula” comes from a Greek word meaning “woman’s servant”. Doulas are trained, non-medical professionals who provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to women before, during and after childbirth, to facilitate the best possible birth experience.
As doula's, our role is to make the parents feel safe and confident, to protect their space and be the presence that creates a calm, trusting and peaceful environment.
There is evidence to show that having a doula can mean:
-
Reduced risk of Caesarean birth.
-
Reduced risk of instrumental birth.
-
Reduced need for painkillers or epidural during birth.
-
Reduced rate of induction of labour .
-
Shorter labour.
-
Increased parental satisfaction with the birth experience.
-
Increased likelihood of initiating breastfeeding.
-
Increased likelihood of successfully establishing breastfeeding & breastfeeding at 6 weeks.
-
Lower incidence of depressive symptomatology.
-
Improve equity and provide culturally responsive care.
