What Is a Postpartum Doula?

From the ancient Greek

meaning "a woman who serves".

 Today, it is used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and

informational support to a mother (and her partner if she has one) during the postpartum period.

A Postpartum Doula offers practical support to new parents as they settle into their new routine and adjust to life with their newborn.

A Doula is not "like a Midwife"!

 A postpartum Doula does not and is not qualified to perform any medical

procedures including, but not limited to, blood pressure checks, newborn

assessments, postpartum check ups, mental health assessments, etc. A Doula is NOT and does NOT replace a Health Care

Provider such as a Midwife or OB.
