The panic was real till I met Zoe. She wasn’t just about the birth; she helped with everything. Felt like she became part of the family.

Your Perth doula questions, answered
What exactly does a doula do during labour and birth?
A doula provides continuous emotional and physical support. They’re there to comfort you with pain-relief techniques such as breathing exercises, massage, and positioning.
Think of your doula as your champion, there to give you all the info you need and help you talk to your doctor about your birth wishes. They’re there to make sure your birth experience feels amazing, just the way you want it. You’ll feel confident and in control every step of the way.
How can a doula help if I'm planning a hospital birth in Perth?
Even in a hospital setting, a doula plays an important role. They’ll be your voice, talking to the doctors and nurses about what you want for your birth.
While doctors and nurses often have to divide their attention among many patients, your doula is there solely for you. They help interpret medical jargon, provide emotional reassurance, and keep things peaceful — just like you planned.
This is a huge help, especially when the hospital is busy and things might feel rushed or impersonal.
Can a doula provide support for a home birth?
Absolutely! Doulas can support home births, bringing a comforting presence and sharing all their birthing knowledge.
They can help you set up the perfect birthing space, show you ways to feel good during labour, and be by your side every step of the way. With a doula, your home birth can feel safe, peaceful, and exactly how you want it.
What kind of postpartum support can I expect from a doula in Perth?
Being a new mom is amazing, but it can also be overwhelming. That’s where a postpartum doula comes in. They’ll be your helping hand, showing you how to breastfeed (if that’s your plan), helping you feel better after birth, and even teaching you baby care tricks.
They have tonnes of resources on everything from feeding and changing diapers to dealing with those baby blues. With a Perth doula, those first few weeks with your little one will be smoother and less stressful. You’ll feel supported and confident in the early days of parenthood.
How do I choose the right doula for my needs?
Choosing the right doula involves a few key steps: research potential candidates, interview them to see if they align with your expectations, and ensure they have the appropriate credentials and experience.
Look for someone whose philosophy about birth aligns with yours and who makes you feel comfortable and supported. It’s also helpful to ask for references from other parents in Perth who have used their services.
Are there different types of doulas?
Yes, there are several types of doulas, each specialising in different aspects of parental support.
For example, birth doulas focus specifically on labour and delivery support. Postpartum doulas offer help in the weeks following birth, focusing on recovery and newborn care. There are also antenatal doulas who provide support during pregnancy, helping you prepare for birth.
How can a doula support my partner during labour and birth?
A doula supports not only you but also your partner. They can guide your partner in how best to support you and offer relief if your partner needs a break. This way, your partner can be there for you in whatever way feels most comfortable, making the whole birth experience amazing for both of you.
What if my birth plan changes unexpectedly?
Doulas are trained to be flexible and support you through whatever turns your birthing experience may take. If plans change, like needing a C-section or other interventions, your doula will be there to provide reassurance, explain what is happening, and make sure your voice is heard as much as possible.
Can a doula help with breastfeeding?
Yes, many doulas provide breastfeeding support. They can show you how to get started right after birth, help you get your baby latched on comfortably, and answer any questions you have about breastfeeding.
Doulas often provide tips for those early days. And if you need even more help, they can connect you with a lactation consultant, too.
How early in my pregnancy should I start looking for a doula?
It’s a good idea to start looking for a doula as soon as you decide you want one. Most expectant parents aim to hire a Perth doula by around the 6th month of pregnancy. This way, you can get to know each other before the big day, and your doula can answer any questions you might have about labour and delivery in Perth. This also gives you more time to plan your perfect birth experience together.
Is your doula network limited to Perth?
We’re not just in Perth! We have doulas in many Australian cities like Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Melbourne.
We also partner with doulas in many places around the world. This includes several cities in the UK, like London and Brighton, and cities in the US, like Boston, Philadelphia, NYC, and Detroit.
Our family is always growing, so if you’re not in Perth, reach out – we might still be able to help you find a doula nearby.
