As we celebrate the birth of our country on the Fourth of July, we remember all those serving in our military who put themselves at risk to protect and defend us every day. When families are separated because a partner or spouse is on active duty, the anxiety of facing labor and delivery for a pregnant woman can be great. As a member of the Military Birth Resource Network, I support military families through this difficult time. Having a Birth Doula’s support can help moms feel safe and more comfortable during pregnancy and allow her to achieve the birth she desires. We are a continuous presence during labor and delivery.
Postpartum care is also important for a mom and newborn when a partner is absent. Protecting mom’s time to rest and bond with baby is critical to establishing the loving bond between them. A Postpartum Doula provides non-medical physical, emotional and informational support to a new mother. That support may include: newborn care, support with breast or bottle feeding, meal preparation, maternal care or light household tasks.
