I will be available and on call 24/7 from our first visit together , you can call me at any time if you have any questions or worries you need to speak about
BIRTH:
I will be with you through birth right till the end, supporting you and your husband through the birth.
We aim to give you your perfect birth, however if things don’t go as planned and it leads to a caesarean section (which we try to avoid by all costs) ill also get the necessary permissions to be with you and your partner.
I will try and keep your birth as close to your birth plan as possible

Before/After Birth
EARLY LABOUR
During Early labour I can come through or should you prefer to be with your family for support I can be on telephone for support , Ill be available to come through as soon as you let me know. I can help you with Last Duties like last minute washing or shop runs, or caregiver to watch kids. A lot of moms feel they just want to be with their families during this period however if you ask for me to come through ill be there
ACTIVE LABOUR
Once you are in active labour ill be by yourside supporting you and not leaving your side at all throughout the entire process. Birth can take anytime from 2hours to 24 hours. I will support you as long as you need.I will provide you with emotional and physical support throughout the entirety of your labor. I can provide you with massage, help in positioning, emotional support, and a supportive and encouraging presence.
IMMEDIATELY ATER BIRTH
After the birth I will typically stay with you for two hours. I will help you with the initial breastfeeding if you choose to do so, making sure your new family is settled and comfortable, and will then leave you to bond with your newest addition.
SCHEDULED CAESAREAN BIRTH
If you are having a scheduled caesarean birth a doula is still a wonderful asset to you! In the case of caesarean births I join you in the hospital and will not leave you until you are successfully nursing your baby. In the event that your baby is in the NICU, I will make sure that you have seen pictures and are settled in and resting comfortably. Babies born by caesarean sometimes face more difficulties with breastfeeding. Having a doula to support you through those first nursing sessions is a tremendous help.
If you lay down, the baby will never come out!
