Doula Support
What is a Doula?
A doula is a trained, compassionate support person who walks alongside you through pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period, offering emotional, physical and practical support, evidence-informed guidance, reassurance and advocacy along the way.
Unlike your medical team, a doula does not provide clinical care. Instead, our role is to focus on you. Your comfort. Your questions. Your preferences. Your confidence. And helping you feel informed, supported and involved in the decisions surrounding your birth and early days of parenthood.
During birth, a doula can offer hands-on comfort measures, movement and positioning suggestions, breathing and relaxation techniques, emotional reassurance and continuous support for both you and your birth partner. We can also help you understand what is happening, communicate with your healthcare team and navigate unexpected changes if your birth takes a different path from the one you had imagined.
And importantly, doula support is not only for vaginal birth.
At Bub Club, we support families through many different journeys into parenthood.
Postnatal Support
You may not need support during your birth at all, but would love a Postnatal Doula to come to your home and walk alongside you once baby arrives, helping you navigate feeding, newborn care, recovery, rest, settling into life with your baby and all of those very normal “Are we doing this right?” moments.
However your baby arrives, and whatever kind of support feels right for your family, our aim is the same:
To help you feel informed, supported, heard and confident as you step into this next chapter.
