Birth with confidence
Hey, mummas-to-be, the road to motherhood is a journey and a half. One minute you’re marvelling at your baby’s kicks, the next you’re wrestling with the urge to nap at noon. It’s all part of the adventure.
Everyone has a story or piece of advice that they just can’t wait to share. But with each one, the path ahead seems a bit more daunting, like a Paula Hawkins suspense novel.
This is when you need a doula. They’re here to ease the worries and smooth out the what-ifs. Doulas bring a sense of calm to the storm of emotions, offering a listening ear, a hand to hold, and wisdom to share. They stand as advocates for your birth plan, confidantes for your private thoughts, and partners on your road into motherhood. With a doula’s support, the journey feels less daunting and more like the celebration it should be.

When the time comes, they’ll be by your side from the first contraction until you’re holding your little one in your arms.

Through smiles and tears, from sore nipples, stinky nappies, and milk disasters, they’ll be right there with you.

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.

Frequently asked Doula questions
All the answers you could ever want from your doula London
How does a doula in London support me during the postnatal period?
A postnatal doula in London is like your personal fairy godmother. They’re there to nurture and provide support as you and your new baby navigate the fourth trimester.
They offer everything from breastfeeding advice to newborn care, and even help you understand your baby’s sleep patterns. Think of them as a guide, helping you to find your feet in the early days of motherhood.
They bring a wealth of knowledge and continuous support, making sure you feel comfortable and empowered during your postnatal journey.
What's included in a birth doula's package?
When you hire a birth doula, you’re signing up for a comprehensive package that includes antenatal consultations, labour and birth support, and postnatal follow-up.
They offer holistic care, ensuring you have the best possible birth experience. From relaxation techniques to comfort measures during labour, they’re equipped to provide the practical and emotional support you need. And it doesn’t stop once your baby is born; most doulas will be there to help you settle into life with your new baby.
How do I navigate hiring a doula and what should I look for?
Navigating the process of hiring a doula involves understanding your own needs and what you hope to gain from their support. Look for someone who has experience but also connects with you on a personal level.
A doula should make you feel heard and respected. They should be willing to discuss their qualifications, their approach to childbirth, and how they can help you navigate the birthing process. Don’t be shy to get in touch with several doulas, ask questions, and see who feels right.
Can a postpartum doula help with my baby's first few weeks?
Absolutely. A postpartum doula specialises in the newborn stage, offering guidance and support across a range of needs. They’re a treasure trove of information and support, helping with everything from baby massage to establishing feeding routines.
They understand the importance of nourishment and rest for new mums and some even provide overnight support so you can get the sleep you need to refresh and recover.
What areas of London do your doula services cover?
Our doula services span across the London boroughs, including family-friendly areas like Chelsea and Barnes. We aim to provide support no matter your postcode.
It’s about ensuring you have access to quality care, from pregnancy through to the postnatal period. Whether you’re giving birth in a hospital or at home, our doulas are ready to offer the continuous support you need.
Why is continuity of care important in childbirth and how does a doula contribute to this?
Continuity of care is about having a consistent presence throughout your birthing journey – someone who understands your history, your wishes, and your concerns.
A doula provides this by being with you throughout the antenatal period, during labour, and in the postnatal weeks. This continuity helps build trust and ensures you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.
Is it normal to feel anxious about parenting and how can a doula help alleviate this?
Feeling anxious about the huge life change that parenting brings is completely normal. A doula can help alleviate these anxieties by providing evidence-based information and support.
They can share birth stories, offer relaxation techniques, and help you realise your own strength. Their role is to empower you and ensure you feel prepared and confident as you step into parenthood.
What makes the relationship with a doula unique compared to other maternity care providers?
The relationship with a doula is uniquely personal. They play an important role in not just providing informational support but also in nurturing your whole family through this life-changing experience.
Unlike clinical care providers, a doula spends time understanding your preferences, fears, and hopes, offering continuous emotional and practical support tailored just for you.
How do I know if a birth and postnatal doula is the best decision for my family?
Deciding on a birth and postnatal doula is about assessing what you want your birth and postnatal care to look like. It’s the best decision if you’re looking for someone to empower and support you holistically, help you navigate the maternity maze, and provide continuity of care that’s often missing in traditional healthcare.
They’re able to help you and your partner feel comfortable and confident, support you in making informed decisions, and provide the nurturing care you deserve as new parents.
