Misty and Tammy tackle the most common misconceptions about doulas in birth work, clarifying their non-medical supportive role distinct from midwives or obstetricians. They explore the myths and realities about what doulas can and cannot do during labor and delivery.
• Doulas are not midwives - they provide continuous non-medical emotional and physical support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
• Doulas enhance rather than replace the partner's role in the birth space
• Despite common beliefs, doulas support births that involve medical pain management
• Doulas cannot guarantee specific outcomes or "save" clients from unwanted interventions
• Doulas work collaboratively with the medical team rather than against them
• Financial accessibility - doulas are available at various price points including volunteer work for those who need it
If you're concerned about affording doula support, reach out to us as we know many doulas who volunteer or offer reduced rates for families in need. Everyone deserves a doula!
Thanks for listening! Always feel free to message us for more information or, if you have information you feel we should see, please send that. We LOVE to hear and learn from you!
