New York City birth Doula Support

We’re Not Meant to Do This Alone.

what if…

You had a pregnancy expert you could text throughout your entire pregnancy to help you navigate the overwhelm of all the information on the internet or well-meaning outdated advice.

You felt educated, confident, and even excited about your birth because you had a birth professional at your side throughout your pregnancy helping you prepare for the birth you want.

During your birth, you had a continuous presence from someone who’s a birth expert, but not beholden to any hospital entity or protocols. Just there for you–-not leaving your side to check on anyone else.

That’s why doulas are awesome.

Hi, It’s me, aixa.

FAQ’s

  • Yes, depending on how many people you plan to have in the room with you. Each hospital has different protocols, but typically in most NYC hospitals, you are allowed two support people, plus a doula.

  • Whenever you feel like the support is needed. If you’re giving birth at a hospital or birth center, typically I would come to your home first and support you during the transition into active labor.

  • Because partners know you better than anyone else, they can be great for providing emotional support in most instances. However, sometimes they are also navigating their own emotions about their loved one and child being born, so supporting you in the way you want may be a challenge. Doulas are great at helping keep partners calm and helping them help you.

    There are also many tools most partners don’t have to navigate birth. While doulas are not medical providers, we are trained professionals and experts on the subject of birth. We can provide pain management tools like massage, guidance on optimal laboring positions to help baby navigate the birth canal optimally and keep labor progressing smoothly, advocacy with hospital staff, and much more.
