2/26/13 EARLY Doula support is ESSENTIAL~

I was just at a prenatal visit tonight with an expectant mother, due in 3 weeks. We were going over ‘last minute’ details, as she calls them (and as a mother of five, doula for just about 13 years, I think is cute).

As we were preparing, going over birth goals, and finalizing, she reminded me of how she felt when she first became pregnant. She told me that she felt ‘all alone’. For the first 8-10 weeks, there was really no one to go to as a resource about anything. Her care provider didn’t even want to see her for exam until she was ‘at least 8 – 10 weeks along ‘. She told me she felt anxious, had every question imaginable and wished that she had known about my Doula service back then.

Even though I have been a Doula in the Syracuse area now for just about 13 years, marketing and promoting Doulas of CNY in many different areas, I immediately felt a strong sense to get the word out even more. Doulas are here to help moms EARLY on! Resources, information, guidance…on ANYTHING. nutrition, exercise, all so important in those first weeks. When I first meet a new client, they are offered a comprehensive book that covers prenatal nutrition, exercise, fitness, and then goes through all of the childbirth education, birth, breastfeeding education that I teach my class from. As Doulas, we cover it when we get hired, but somehow we need to be hired EARLIER.

Doulas of CNY offers Prenatal Education, we are here to answer your questions.

Our support services cover Syracuse and the surrounding areas…tell your friends, if you will.

Please help us promote this very important part of prenatal care. 

Occasionally we receive calls from women looking for Doulas in other areas. Some as far as NYC. If you are an expectant mom in NYC, you will want the very same comprehensive care that Doulas of CNY has to offer.
