Hey there! You’re probably here because someone you love is pregnant or has recently brought a new baby home and you’re curious about helping them cover the costs of their birth or postpartum doula support.

First of all, THANK YOU! If you choose to provide them this gift, your contribution will truly help the family in so many ways!

A birth doula is a companion who supports a birthing person during labor and birth. Birth doulas are trained to provide continuous, one-on-one care, as well as information, physical support, and emotional support to birthing persons and their partners. Doulas nurture and support the birthing person (and their partner) throughout labor and birth.

A postpartum doula supports birthing parents and families in their homes after they give birth. A doula provides information and support related to the physical, emotional and mental health and well-being of the birth parent, infant, and other family members.

There is evidence that working with a doula can result in decreased complications during and after birth for the birth parent, reduced pain, and higher satisfaction with the birth experience.  In addition, postpartum support can help prevent postpartum depression, help sustain breastfeeding for longer periods of time, and generally help the entire family adjust to the new baby and new dynamics.

Even if you end up deciding to buy them some diapers, feeding supplies, or baby clothes (all very helpful and necessary!), thank you for reading this and learning a little more about the benefits of doula support!
