Doula Services
The Birth and Women's Health Center has joined with Desert Doula Birth & Postpartum Services to offer complimentary Postpartum Doula care to patients delivering at the Birth Center!
The Birth Center's "Tuck-In Program" will pair a postpartum doula with new families who do not have a strong support network waiting for them at home. The doula can help the new parents settle in after the baby's delivery by loading and unloading the car, helping with breastfeeding, providing newborn care, meal preparation, sibling care, running errands and doing light housekeeping.
If the families wish to take advantage of this service, the doula will meet them at the Birth Center or at their home and will begin her two-hour "Tuck-In" time with the family, paid for by BWHC. If more time is desired beyond the two hours, the family will have the option to pay the doula directly for her services.
Desert Doulas also provide help with our Mom/Baby Groups (postpartum) and bilingual labor support for Spanish-speaking clients.
In addition, The Birth Center can help you get connected with a doula for your labor The support of a doula during labor is shown to shorten the duration and painfulness of the labor! BWHC offers expecting families the option to meet doulas during their Birth Education classes or "Meet the Doulas" Teas held at the Birth Center the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 am.
