| "It seems like yesterday that I was in labor having my precious baby. Thanks to your 'loving' care for me during this milestone in my life, I was able to successfully give birth to my baby girl. I will always be deeply grateful for the encouragement and gentle support you showed while I was undergoing childbirth. Your presence at this time will never be forgotten." Angie, hospital birth

Doula / Labor Support Care
For couples choosing to birth in the hospital, doula care can be provided to support the woman in her birth choices. Doula care begins with a prenatal appointment to discuss the woman's birth choices, provide information on preparing a birth plan, and define the doula's role. Doulas do not provide medical oversight but instead give information, support the woman in her chosen birth choices whether medicated or natural delivery, and provide hands-on care during labor and birth in the form of massage techniques, comfort measures to ease labor discomfort, techniques to facilitate progress, and encouragement for the parents. The doula is completely committed to the parents well-being. Visit ChildbirthConnection.org, http://www.childbirthconnection.org/article.asp?ClickedLink=257&ck=10178&area=27 for more information on the importance of labor support. Our doula fee is $500.
