A doula offers support during the entire length of labor and beyond. Doulas, however, typically meet with you before the birth, will stay with you during the entire labor and delivery process, and will often make one or two post-labor follow-up visits to check on your breastfeeding progress and make sure baby is latching on correctly.
Studies have shown that doulas can help cut back on time spent in labor, reduce a mom’s anxiety, lower the rate lower the rate of medical interventions (including C-sections) and improve mother-baby bonding post-birth. Their assistance has even been shown to improve your odds of breastfeeding success, since many doulas are also lactation consultants.
A doula may be especially helpful for a mom-to-be who's on her own, either by choice or because her partner can't be present (for reasons such as military deployment).
We have created this group for expecting and new parents to have a place to connect and share items with each other!
Most new families discover that they have products that they only used a few times, or never even opened. We hope to provide a platform for parents to be able to pass these items along, free of charge, to other expecting and new families who can use them.
Our FaceBook Group, “The Stumptown Doulas Giveaway Group” is our communication platform. It is set up as request/invite access to allow privacy to our members. We only allow new or gently used pregnancy and newborn (baby through the 1st year) items to sustain the gifting of quality products.
Please check out our group and if you’re interested, request to join by following the link below!
All expecting and new parents are welcome!
