Experienced Doula Services
First Time Parents
Pregnant people need to prepare with their mind, their heart their soul and their body. However, preparation is most effective when it is combined with experienced support. Birth partners are most effective when a doula is there to remind them of what they learnt and to advise them how and when to best apply their knowledge.
Parents birthing again
Mothers who have given birth before often hire a doula for their subsequent birth. Its not unusual at all! Often it is because their first experience was not what they hoped it would be and they would like for this subsequent birth to be different, more supported and more empowering. Or, its for exactly the opposite reason, and that is that their previous birth(s) went really well and they want to ensure the same experience again.
Parents planning a VBAC
Planning a vaginal birth after a previous c birth requires a lot of support.
A doula is perfectly placed to provide that support to parents. Preparing for a VBAC is in some ways like preparing for a first birth.
Parents planning a caesarean
Parents who are planning a c birth also benefit from doula support before the birth of their baby, but in particular after their baby is born, especially if they do not have good familial support in Dublin. Some planned caesarean sections are actively selected and chosen, and others are advised by care providers and not necessarily what people expected or wanted.
Lactation Consultancy Services
Breastfeeding is the normal way to feed a healthy full term baby and I know that the majority of mums in Ireland want to breastfeed, but I also know that something that looks so natural and so simple may need professional support and that many mums may not have had the support that they hoped for in the hospital after their baby was born.
