Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the benefits of having a Postpartum Doula?

    A postpartum doula provides non-medical support in these important days and weeks following delivery. This supprt is emotional and physical, as well as informational. While the doula does help with infant care, her primary focus is on the mother and her family. The International Childbirth Education Association describes the role as, "mothering the mother".

  • What is the difference between a birth and postpartum doula?

    Birth doulas are focused on supporting parents during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the immediate aftermath. The primary goal is to help them achieve the birth they desire and provide support during these times. Usually, a birth doula visits once or twice after birth to discuss how it went. 


    Postpartum doulas are focused on the aftermath of birth and helping care for parents and babies. These doulas can perform a variety of household tasks, like baby laundry or meal prep, as well as take care of the baby for short periods. They may also focus on mental health in the postpartum period and helping parents make this transition. 


    Many doulas are both birth and postpartum doulas, allowing them to offer the full spectrum of support. The two roles are complementary. 


  • Are postpartum doulas nurses?

    Nope!  Postpartum doulas are non-medical professionals.  We do not check incisions or answer medical questions.  We do know what does and does not fall within the range of normal.  And we have a comprehensive list of resources for you.

  • Will my partner feel replaced by a doula?

    Doulas are in no way meant to take on the same role as your partner. Your partner knows you, your comforts, your emotions, and what you need better than anyone and will be a huge part of your birth, recovery and postpartum period. Doulas come with knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that your partner may not have and help them find the best way to apply that knowledge to you. We love to work with partners, giving them tips for comfort measures and empowering them to be a part of the journey. 

  • Does insurance cover postpartum doula support?

    Depends.  You'll need to contact your insurance company to see if they will reimburse you for doula services.  Alternatively, you can pay our invoices from your HSA or FSA account.
