What's in a Doula's Bag of Tricks?
There are many tools available to be used to help support a woman in labor, but the best ones of all are your loving heart, kind touch, and willingness to help.
Know what options are available
We know that a when a woman is in labor, positioning is important to help keep the rhythm of labor going. Standing, walking, and just being in an upright position allows gravity to work and help the baby move into the pelvis. The Doula can help by assisting her to use different positions whether it is in the bed, walking around or using the birth ball.
