*NEW - Doula Support Services
Starting Summer 2023 Great Futures will start offering Doula Support
Pregnant mommies can now receive Doula support through our certified Doula who is also a registered nurse!!!
So what does a Doula do???
A doula is a professional pregnancy companion whose goal is to help families have a safe, healthy and positive labor experience. Doulas provide emotional, physical, and educational support to expecting mothers or those who have recently given birth. Doulas offer encouragement, advice, and comfort to new mothers. They stay with the mother throughout labor and perform “Virtual” home visits after the baby is born.
What are the Do's and Don't of a Doula
Doulas are not medical professionals, and the following tasks are not performed by doulas: They do not perform clinical tasks such as vaginal exams, deliver baby, or fetal heart monitoring. They do not give medical advice or diagnose conditions. They do not make decisions for the client (medical or otherwise)
So what services will I receive from my Great Futures Doula
· Educate moms on pregnancy, labor, delivery, postpartum care, breastfeeding, newborn care, and infant CPR/first aid
· Collaborate with other members of your healthcare team such as OB provider, nurses, and midwives
· Provide support and education about pregnancy, labor and birth, breastfeeding, and child development to pregnant women and their families
· Provide emotional support to the client throughout the prenatal period and during childbirth
· Prepare the mom for labor and birth by providing education about the stages of labor, methods of coping with pain, possible complications, and postpartum care
· In collaboration with the mom create birthing plan
· Help the mom choose a healthcare provider and establish a rapport with them
· Provide Telehealth support to the laboring woman by reminding her to use breathing techniques, drink fluids or apply ice packs, or have her “support person” massaging her back or legs
· Provide Telehealth support in collaboration with “support person” keeping track of the mother’s contractions and progression through the stages of labor by timing them with a stopwatch or noting them in a chart
