I'm spending time with family this week for Thanksgiving, so this week's episode is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite episodes. Enjoy!
Do you know what a doula is, what they do, and how they can help you during your pregnancy & labor? There are a lot of misconceptions out there about doulas, so I thought it would be helpful to chat to a doula and get an inside look at their work and all the things they do for pregnant women.
Our guest for this episode is Keisha Graham, who has been a doula for almost a decade and is also the community manager in the All About Pregnancy and Birth Facebook Group!
Keisha and I talk about what doulas do, how to choose them, and how doulas can support you and your partner during labor. She also talks about why she thinks everyone deserves a doula and why you should get one as early in your pregnancy as possible.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
- What a doula is, what they do, and how they can help you in all stages of your pregnancy
- Where to find a doula no matter where you are
- Three questions you should ask before hiring a doula
- Why it's a great idea to hire a doula as early in your pregnancy as possible
