What are the benefits to a virtual doula?
Individual benefits of a virtual doula include a source for emotional support, knowledgeable preparation, and postpartum care. Doulas empower you to advocate for yourself if she can’t be there with you in person, whether that’s with your medical team, your family or your partner. Having a doula on your side has been proven to improve birth outcomes for the baby and health outcomes for mamas.
When can you start virtual care?
From the beginning of prenatal care through postpartum care, or anytime in between.
