Emotional Benefits

The emotional responses a person has throughout labor and birth are ever changing and can feel overwhelming. It actually has been shown to stall labor and prevent the progression of uterine contractions and cervical dilation. Your Mindful Birth Doula is prepared for your “unknowns.” She anticipates the change in emotions and will support you by:

​

  • Creating a safe space to open the dialogue as these changing emotions appear.

  • Normalizing the phases of emotionality as they present themselves.

  • Honoring each emotion enabling you to process them as you ultimately evolve into your newest version of normal.

  • Honoring your partner in the event that emotions arise for them.

  • Being mindful of you and your partner’s need for connection and knowing when we are needed to lean in, as well as knowing when you need a few moments to yourselves.

Physical Benefits
