Coffee and cream.
Chocolate and strawberries.
Bacon and goat cheese.
Roasted chicken and mole sauce. (Seriously, if you haven’t been to Jose Andre’s Oyamel yet, get there. Pronto.)
We could go on and on about things that are better when paired. Your birth doulas are no exception!
When you meet with your doulas (yes, plural), you’ll find that you’ve got two highly-skilled, knowledgeable professionals for you to utilize from the start. From the day of hiring, you have unlimited access via phone and email to two fantastic resources.
Your in-home prenatal visit will be with both of your doulas so you and your partner can continue to build your relationship with your team and ensure that everyone is on the same page – from knowing your preferences to strengthening your confidence in your birth.
When labor begins, you’ll be in touch with your on-call doula who can answer questions and help guide you through the early stages, no matter the time of day. After you make the call to have your on-call doula join you, you’ll have your trusted support by your side.
What happens when your doula is sick? Her car breaks down unexpectedly? She has a family emergency?
Your other trusted doula comes. You’re not left with a hole in your team. No surprise back-up doulas who have you questioning their training or abilities to meet your unique needs during what should be a time of focus on you.
