“We should have hired a doula!”
Last-minute in-hospital labor or postpartum support at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Only
I have heard so many parents lament that they should have hired a doula when something goes other than planned in their birth journey. Whether it is an induction that is going longer than expected, a realization that you need more support for labor coping, difficulty resting or breastfeeding after delivery, a birth partner who is suddenly unable to be with you. or you just feel you need some extra advocacy, My on-call doula services may be just what you need.
Just pick up the phone and give me a call: 603-767-5382
Please call between 7AM and 7PM unless you are in need of immediate support.
I cannot garantee I will be available when you call, but if I am, I can join you as soon as 1-2 hours (depending on time of day and what I am currently doing.) I have a great working relationship with hospital staff.
