What is a Doula? Dear Doula Goes Live….

Warning - self promotional content!

One of our simplest, but nicest looking, little sites for a while has just gone live, check it out at DearDoula.com A simple white, grey and purple colour scheme works really well, giving a very clean look which will appeal to the market Lexie is looking for. In terms of code, there is nothing clever going on, but the visually the site works very well.

Just to be clear as to what a Doula is….

To be sure you you get the kind of help you need in labour, consider having a Doula. A doula is with you continuously through labour. She’s trained and experienced in providing emotional support, physical comfort and non-clinical advice. She usually meets with you before labour and discusses your preferences and concerns. She learns the role you both want your partner to play. For example, some partners prefer to be the primary support person or “coach” - with the doula as advisor, errand-runner (for beverages, ice chips, hot packs, warm blankets, partner’s food) and stand-in (if the partner needs a break). Other partners want to focus on providing love, affection and comfort to the mother and leave the role of coach to the doula.

Lexie looked after us when my second child was born, and she was perfect for us. If you are preggers, or your missus is, then well worth a call.
