How and where you plan to give birth is up to you. There are many different techniques to help women cope through childbirth; lamaze, hypnobirth, and the Bradley method being some of the most common. As a doula, I can work with both expecting parents to find the right technique for them as well as provide resources for where expected parents can obtain further education regarding such methods.
Homebirth vs. hospital birth is a topic that has been debated for years. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, on behalf of Mom2Mom Doula, I recommend researching and educating yourselves on the options available to you and the responsibilites involved. Mom2Mom Doula will not take part in a planned homebirth without a licensed medical professional involved.
