At Your Family Doula Services, we will assist you on the path your birth takes — judgment-free. If you are having a cesarean (planned or emergent), we will provide emotional support and work with the coping techniques available to us. Depending on hospital policy, we will accompany you into the operating room if you so choose. After the birth, the doula will stay with you to assist with all that is necessary.
For medicated births, your doula will remain by your side and help in all ways possible. If you are still able to move around, we will use those laboring techniques. If your care provider requires you to stay in bed, we will use the techniques available to us.

Of course! Our goal is to make sure every person has an experience in which they feel comforted, knowledgeable, and heard. We aim to make sure you feel supported and confident in yourself. As such, we happily help single parents, surrogates, and teen parents through their journey.

Hiring a doula can benefit not only you but your partner as well. A doula can show both of you coping techniques that you can use together or ways in which your partner can best assist you. During labor, a doula can provide some much-needed rest time to your partner or guide them on what to do to help in real-time. If your partner is squeamish, a doula can be helpful by letting them know when not to look. On the other hand, if your partner is very hands-on, a doula can guide them through the process of labor and reassure them that everything is normal and well. In the event that something doesn't go according to plan, a doula can help both you and your partner understand what is happening and cope with any changes to the birth plan.
