Sharing the care of your pregnancy in Bristol, North Somerset and Somerset!
Birth and Postnatal Doulas: Shared Care explained
Shared care doulas are two (or more) doulas who team up and share the care of the pregnant women, people and families they support.
As your shared care birth and/or postnatal doulas, we bring our individual experiences & insights and our shared passion & ethos to the pregnant families we support.
Every doula works with a back up doula. So even if you hire 1 doula, they will have a back up colleague ready in case they can’t attend your birth.
With shared care doulas this means that you will 100% know the person who will be supporting you during your pregnancy and birth!
It’s a win win!
We cover Bristol, North Somerset and Somerset for in person doula support.
Home births, Free births, Hospital Births, C-sections, VBACs… you name it, we have supported it!
But, why would I hire a doula?
This is a question we ask all prospect clients when we have our free consultation. Your ‘why’ is so important to us and helps us personalise our support accordingly.
Pregnancy & birth, are HUGE events in your life and guess what? We weren’t designed to go through pregnancy, birth and postpartum alone!
As your doulas we become members of your ‘tribe’. We’re here to equip you with essential knowledge you need to navigate the NHS Maternity Services System, teach you everything we know about hypnobirthing and birth, advocate for you and help you have the birth of your dreams.
We’re rolodexes of pregnancy, birth and postpartum resources, we’re an emotional pillar to lean on and we provide you with our top tip as doulas, but also as two seasoned mums, who have walked this path before, supported many families doing the same, and can help you find your way!
