Millie the Doula
Doula basics
A doula is a birth support worker for pregnant people along their journey. My role is to be an emotional support, advocate, and overall a familiar face within your journey. I’ll be working with you alongside any birth partners you may have, and as a continuum doula specifically I’ll be giving you a longstanding and more personalised support.
Antenatal
Practically I’ll be giving you 6 antenatal sessions – which includes the birth and a visit within the first days after the birth – this will cover your needs, options and preferences for your birth, discussing practicalities and expectations for postnatal life, all tailored to your needs.
Postnatal
Postnatally you’ll have 6 sessions – or 12 hours in whatever construct suits you – supporting your needs individually, connections with baby and other people within the home, and first outings. All these sessions will be tailored to your needs and wants from me.
