What is a Birth Doula?: A birth doula is a professional trained in many aspects of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. A birth doulas role is to provide physical, emotional and informative support to you and your family during pregnancy, birth, and immediate postpartum. We are trained on stages of labor, hormone facilitation, birth positions, postpartum mood disorders and so much more!
​​
What is a Postpartum Doula?: A postpartum doula is a professional trained in the postpartum period. Their role is to support you and your family during postpartum and to help you with anything you may need support in. This can include infant care, meal prepping, housekeeping, and much more.
​​
What is a Sibling Doula?: A sibling doula is an experienced professional who provides care to your older child(ren) while you are giving birth. This can either be in your home during your birth experience, or they can act as a companion/guide to your child during the birth if you want them present. (Sibling doulas do not offer childcare for your full hospital stay duration. They offer on call support during your birth.)
​​
What is a Childbirth Educator?: A childbirth educator is a trained professional who educates parents about birth, postpartum, and infant care skills. Most often this education happens in group or private classes. Each course or class offered by different professionals can have different content taught. It is often recommended that parents take out of hospital childbirth education classes to get a more comprehensive education. Connection Birth Doula Services class differs from most, because they are extremely comprehensive 4 day course that will prepare you for birth, postpartum, and early parenthood.
