This episode explains in detail the reasons why hiring a birth doula is such a great decision! Not only do doulas offer emotional and physical support to mothers, but they also increase birth outcomes in terms of intervention use and the mother’s overall opinions about the birth.
Doulas can offer support to mothers regardless of the birth plan… Natural birth mothers and c-section mothers can all utilize the help of professional birth partners–doulas!
Jen visited me with her daughter, Hattie, and we had a lot to discuss about her daughter’s birth! Join us in this episode as we talk about the ins and outs of the first phase of labor, or the latent phase. Our interview is candid, open, and honest! Hattie even adds some of her own thoughts to our conversation!
Be sure to stay tuned for more interviews with Jen, like: what her experiences were during the active phase of labor, her feelings during the moment of her daughter’s birth, and what the first moments after the birth were like.
