Birth Doula

At Michigan Family Doulas, your birth doula offers comprehensive coaching, physical and emotional support, and education throughout the birthing process, allowing you to make informed, real-time decisions as needed.

Education

Throughout your birthing experience, your doula will be a familiar, knowledgeable person you can trust.

We believe that education helps reduce anxiety and fosters informed decisions. Our doulas educate birthing people on the birthing process, make them aware of their options, and keep them informed on what to expect. They are always ready to address any concerns, questions, and worries.

Emotional Support

Giving birth is an emotional experience. Your doula will help you make sense of the feelings and changes you encounter, helping you to connect with your intuition and your baby.

Our highly trained doulas can also watch for signs of perinatal mood disorders like postpartum depression and anxiety. We work with medically trained professionals to refer new mothers and recommend treatment when necessary.

Physical Support

Our doulas are trained and adept at providing comfort through positioning, physical touch therapy, and counter pressure to keep you relaxed and your labor progressing.

Working with you and any labor partners to release tension, establish and maintain a healthy breathing pattern, and soothe your discomfort, your doula will keep you in the moment and work towards your ultimate goal of a positive childbirth experience.

Postpartum Doulas

After giving birth, most birthing people don’t see a physician for six weeks as they recover on their own. However, new mothers require support and care after birth to heal, process their birthing experience, and receive nonjudgmental guidance as they navigate life with a new baby.

Our postpartum doulas in West Bloomfield offer daytime support for new families as they recover, bond with their new baby, and discover their parenting style. In addition, we can troubleshoot feeding concerns and offer you the chance to rest, shower, and take a moment for yourself so you can better care for your new baby.

Our nighttime postpartum care doula will help you with early sleep shaping for your baby, work with you to feed and care for your baby through the night, and handle any nighttime chores necessary to start your day off right and reduce stress levels in your home. The focus of overnight postpartum doula care is sleep for the whole family!
