Just for Parents

Your doorway to everything you need to know to prepare for your birth.  Our pages answer your questions and give you practical tips to help you decide what's right for you for your birth, and how to make it happen. .

All about doulas

You can learn what a doula is, and how they can help you during pregnancy and labor. Learn about the questions to ask a doula when choosing one, and how to get the most out of having a doula. If your partner is reluctant about having a doula, there is a page especially for him.

Find a doula

Once you have decided you want a doula, the next step is to find the right doula for you. The Findadoula search engine is designed just for this! Choose the type of service you want, enter your location and all the doulas listed with us will appear. You can choose to look for birth doulas, postpartum doulas, childbirth educators, lactation supporters, yoga teachers, massage therapists, birth photographers and complementary therapists.

Find the right caregiver

It is tough to decide who is the right caregiver for you. Some women just have the same  obstetrician they have always gone to. Others choose the person their best friend had look after them. You can learn how to find the right caregiver for you and get a rundown of great questions to ask to make sure he or she is a good match for you.

Doulas make a difference!

 

It has consistently been shown that having a doula at your birth can make a difference. There are lower rates of interventions when a doula is present, and the cesarean rate is reduced by 50%.

 

A doula makes a difference after your birth as well. Women who have a doula at their birth have lower rates of postpartum depression and feel overall more satisfied with their birth.

 

A doula can make a difference to you!
