What is VIRTUAL DOULA support and is it a good fit for me?
Support is at your fingertips when you hire a virtual doula! According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, one of the most efficient tools to improve labor and delivery outcomes is the ongoing presence of support, such as a doula. With experience in physical, emotional and educational support you can achieve an empowering experience.Some roles of a VIRTUAL doula include:
- + Phone, Text and Video consultations with the expecting parent(s)
- + Consultations for birth education and preparing for birth
- + Providing evidenced based education and information
- + Assistance with coming up with questions for your healthcare provider(s)
- + Review of medical interventions, options, risks and benefits
