 A doula from our group will be with you throughout your labor, the birth of your baby and at least one hour postpartum to help with initial breastfeeding. In the case of a very long birth, for our safety and your benefit, we will change shifts (usually around the 12 hours mark).The goal is always that the doula that is with you is well rested, fed, and fully available to support you in labor. This team setting helps us to live a balanced life (not missing our personal activities) and allows us to be fully present when we are with you.  We never have to call in back-up you don't know, even in cases of illness or emergency in one doula's life. It's 4 doulas for the price of 1!
