In our Childbirth Education small group classes, we like to empower families with toolkits for coping through labor and delivery.
Tips For Birthing A Posterior Baby
You may have read about or seen in your ultrasound that a baby can be posterior, and that news can sometimes be not exactly what you want to hear. However, our birth doulas are well trained in how to provide physical support prenatally and during birth to help, while also are able to direct you to other resources that may help.
Power of Breath
Sometimes we take breathing for granted, because, well, we normally don’t think about it. However, we are challenging you to really notice your breath.
Two Prenatal Appointments with Your Birth Doulas
For each birth doula client, we offer two prenatal appointments. This gives us a great time to learn about you, and for you to learn about us.
Am I In Labor?
Probably the single most common question we get from our clients during our first prenatal appointment is “how will I know if I’m in labor?”
What’s (Not) In Our Doula Bags
Doulas can be known for having a bag of tricks we bring to each bring. Are you picturing a clown car of comfort measures? Well, not so much.
What Exactly Does a Doula Do?
The Doulas at Carolina Birth and Wellness provide continuous support for families in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, and surrounding areas during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.
Back Labor
As you are preparing for labor and delivery, our job as doulas is help you learn about the possibilities that can occur. One of those possibilities is that you experience back labor.
Use of Nitrous Oxide During Labor
Birthing individuals around the Triangle are beginning to take notice of the Nitrous Oxide as that is available to them in their birthing rooms as a comfort measure during labor, both at hospitals and birth centers alike.
