Doulas and Cesareans
You have hired a doula and then, as happens with birth, things shifted, best-made plans, hopes, and wishes changed, and hard decisions had to be made. You ended up with an unplanned c-section. Someone might unthoughtfully say “So much for having a doula…” This is where you can share with them why having a doula was still a great decision!
What is Surrogacy?
In surrogacy, is the baby related to you? How much does a surrogate get paid? Is it hard to give the baby up? If surrogacy is something you are looking into, birth doula and seasoned gestational carrier surrogate Mariah answers many of the top questions to get started.
How TENS Can Reduce Pain in Labor
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive, drug-free technology which can be used to empower laboring mothers by relieving pain. The TENS unit is a small, lightweight, battery-powered, handheld control, like a TV remote with wires that connect to small adhesive pads placed on the lower back. We are excited to offer this effective pain management tool!
