Birth Doula Support in Omaha & Surrounding Areas
The doula on your birth team should be someone that you truly trust and feel deeply comfortable with. For this reason, we will get to know each other well throughout your pregnancy. I am available 24/7 for texts, phone calls, emails…whatever works best for you.
We will also meet a few times during your pregnancy. We will have two prenatal meetings at your home, where we discuss birth options, dig into questions, and lay out a birth plan, among other things. I am available for other meetings as well - this varies from client to client, so I meet you where you’re at with what you’re needing. I have come with clients to their prenatal appointments when they’re having a hard time communicating with their provider, and I have gone to the library with a client and our toddlers.
Additionally, we will schedule two postpartum visits. At the first visit we will debrief your birth, discuss any resources you may want (lactation support, mental health, etc) and just check-in. At the second, I like to “mother the mother”...again check in, and help in whatever way feels most supportive.
