Bringing a baby into the world is one of the most life-changing and powerful events a family will ever experience. Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, every birth and postpartum journey is unique, and you deserve personalized, compassionate care every step of the way. That’s exactly what you’ll receive when you hire a birth and postpartum doula from Birth You Desire.
We were so nervous and excited before you were born. I was nervous about labor and delivery- about pain and uncertainty- and forgot to be nervous about bringing a new person home with us from the hospital.
At Birth You Desire (BYD) we are uniquely set up with this situation as we have been offering virtual doula services for over five years. When we started virtual support, this was a new unpresented service.
Birth is a guessing game. When will I go into labor? How long will labor last? Will be baby be born vaginally? Can I do it with minimal interventions? Will I tear? What if I have to make a decision about a cesarean? Will I have childcare for my other children? What if someone shows up that I didn’t invite? What will recovery be like? Can I breastfeed successfully?
A goal is the desired outcome of result of action. A healthy vaginal birth. You can focus on it and drive yourself to complete it. With a goal when it is completed it is over, finished, and dismissed. You will either have to create another new goal or return to our old practices.
