Prenatal Care
What is prenatal care?
Doulas provide support, knowledge, and experience while you make important decisions about your pregnancy and delivery. They are not physicians and do not provide medical care, but they are certified to aid you during pregnancy with certain issues that may arise. Made For You Doulas offers doula care to women and birthing people who to make the birthing process easier for the family.
What does prenatal care include?
Prenatal care includes visiting with your doula to discuss milestones and decisions, education for you and any birthing partners, lactation support and making your plans for birth and postpartum.
What are the benefits of prenatal care?
A doula supports your journey by lending a listening ear and being the voice of reason that stands out among the opinions of many. She will advocate for you and help you decide what’s best for you and your baby, no matter what. Having our community of doulas behind you gives you the confidence to take on any challenge that pregnancy, labor, or postpartum throws your way.
Prenatal care has been linked to better birth outcomes for all babies, specifically for women of color.
When do you start prenatal care?
Prenatal care can start as soon as 30 weeks. And while our birth packages require booking by 34 weeks, Made For You Doulas has resources for mothers at all stages of pregnancy. Contact us to find out how we can support you after this point.
