Ask a Doula...What is a doula and why would I want/need one? Ask a Doula your top labor and postpartum questions

If you are interested in having a doula attend your birth but aren't quite sure what they do or why you may want one, this class is for you! Long-time birth worker Amanda Alappat will give you the inside scoop on the many benefits of hiring a doula, such as decreased risk of C-section and increased chance of having a positive birth. She breaks down many myths surrounding this type of labor support and goes into how the role of a doula is very different from that of an OB, midwife and even partner! She'll help you become clear on where to find one, what questions to ask during an initial interview and most importantly, what to expect during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This class will be especially important if you are in need of extra guidance, support and education around birth but don't know where to look. A doula just might be the best addition to your birth team!
