The Wisdom of Wellness Podcast 7. Adding a Doula to Your Birth Team with Baillie McArthur
When we think of additional support during pregnancy, birth, or postpartum care, do we believe only a midwife can provide this? In today's episode, we have a special guest, Baillie McArthur. She has been a doula since 2017 and is here to unpack and provide insight and valuable information related to doula work.
Baillie will discuss a doula's primary role, the importance of additional support, and how it can make all the difference in someone's birthing experience. She emphasizes that doula support is there during pregnancy, during birth, and postpartum for many areas of support where needed. We discuss mental preparation, the cost, physicians vs. midwives, and many others. I hope this episode can provide new aspiring knowledge and help you in future endeavors for all things pregnancy!
We talk more about:
- Importance of informed consent
- Primary duties of a doula
- Mental preparation for birth
- Differences between hospital and home births as a doula
- Education related to labor and its importance
