Doula and Midwifery Care
Next, midwives and doulas work well together as a team. They are key partners in improving maternal and infant health outcomes. Each providing support to you throughout the childbearing year.
A midwife will provide support during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum period. This support includes; educational, health and fetal well-being and monitoring.
Doulas will help support your educational, physical, and emotional desires. They are supportive during labour to enhance physiological labour processes, as well as women’s feelings of control and confidence in their own strength and ability to give birth. Often using the power of touch with massage to reduce stress and anxiety during labor.

Maybe a postpartum doula is what you need if you know your labors happen fast. Its okay if you really prefer help after baby has arrived.
“If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it” is a quote by Dr. John Kennell, a pediatrician, researcher, and founder of DONA International. Kennell said this to summarize his belief in the importance of labor and postpartum support.
