You may have read about or seen in your ultrasound that a baby can be posterior, and that news can sometimes be not exactly what you want to hear. However, our birth doulas are well trained in how to provide physical support prenatally and during birth to help, while also are able to direct you to other resources that may help.
Doula Support During Birth
But what exactly do we do in the birth room while you are laboring and pushing? The short answer is: whatever you need!
Am I In Labor?
Probably the single most common question we get from our clients during our first prenatal appointment is “how will I know if I’m in labor?”
Back Labor
As you are preparing for labor and delivery, our job as doulas is help you learn about the possibilities that can occur. One of those possibilities is that you experience back labor.
Use of Nitrous Oxide During Labor
Birthing individuals around the Triangle are beginning to take notice of the Nitrous Oxide as that is available to them in their birthing rooms as a comfort measure during labor, both at hospitals and birth centers alike.
Benefits of a Labor Stimulating Massage
When you are past your estimated date of delivery or facing a medical induction, a labor stimulating massage can provide amazing benefits to both your mind and body to help prepare for and help stimulate labor.
Prodromal Labor
Prodromal labor is when there are false labor signs prior to active labor beginning. However, that can be pretty frustrating to hear as a pregnant person because your pain and discomforts are not false. Check out how to cope, and when to call your medical provider.
