What can I expect from a birth doula?

  A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support before, during and shortly after childbirth to help achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. Whether you want an unmedicated birth, an epidural the moment they offer it, a scheduled c-section, or a scheduled induction, we will support you through the experience. As your birth doula, we will support you and your birth companion through your labor and help you remain calm and confident. We will establish a relationship throughout your pregnancy that allows for a connection in your birthing room. Our goal is to take the work out of it for you and your partner so you can remain in the moment.  Our Empowered Birth Doulas are trained and have experience supporting birth at many different hospitals and birth centers in the Austin and Lakeway area.

Prenatal Meeting

$150

This is a 1-1.5 hour meeting for someone not using a birth doula, but desiring a consultation from one. One of our birth doulas can meet you somewhere in the Austin, Lakeway, or Bee Cave area or meet with you virtually. She can answer questions you have regarding pregnancy, labor, and birth and help you construct a birth preferences sheet to use on your birthing day.

Childbirth Education is KEY

Choosing a birth doula is only one piece of preparing for your labor and birth. Childbirth education will help you and your partner feel confident about the decisions you make throughout your pregnancy and birth process. We have many options to choose from for birth classes. HypnoBirthing, Birth Basics, or Austin Childbirth Ed are three of these. We also have some other options. Reach out to ask for something that fits your specific needs. You can find more local classes outside of those we offer on our resources page.

Don't forget to plan for after!

Many people put so much thought and time into preparing for birth, but they forget to plan for once their baby is here! We have many ways to prepare for that special and vulnerable time. The Newborn Sleep Class and Postpartum Doula Care can make a world of difference in starting off on the right foot with your baby.
