What to expect
My training was based on the Föda Utan Rädsla (FUR) theory, which translates to "Birth Without Fear." This theory emphasizes the significance of eliminating fear from the birthing process. FUR advocates for an understanding that fear can impact the birthing experience and aims to equip parents with tools and techniques to alleviate anxiety, promoting a calm and empowered birthing environment.
During labor, I will be by your side, offering comfort measures, advocating for your choices, and assisting with pain relief techniques. If I see you are stressed I will use tools to bring you back to the present moment.
Post-birth, I continue to nurture and guide you, by listening to you, facilitating bonding, and helping out with aspects related to the first time at home with your baby.
Despite having an abundance of strategies and insights, what truly counts is your experience towards it. What matters most is ensuring your emotional comfort and confidence, not employing methods.
The Road to Birth Doula Support
01. Starting point
You book a cost-free introductory meeting, which can be called a “me” meeting. Whether it is an in-person meeting at a coffee place of your choice or a virtual conversation, it is the time to introduce myself and tell you how I work, ensuring clarity about my role as Birth Doula. We will have about 30-45 minutes.
02. Birth preparation meetings
If you choose to move forward with my services, we will begin by signing The Letter of Agreement and securing your booking with a nominal fee. This fee will be deducted from subsequent payments unless any cancellations occur. Following that, we will schedule two personalized 2-hour meetings, designed to enhance your birth experience. These sessions will be conveniently held at your home.
-
The first one is a “you” meeting because it centers on your preferences, desires, and expectations for the birthing process. It is a time to share your history, and previous experiences, and express your thoughts and concerns.
-
The second one is more practical, and we will go through mental birth preparation, breathing exercises, positions during childbirth, comfort measures, birth letter, tips for your support person, and more.
03. On-call
I will be on-call around the clock for 5 weeks. It means 2 weeks before the estimated due date until the baby arrives.
In case of a recommendation or approval for a cesarean, we can either go together to the hospital or arrange to meet there.
04. Birth support
When labor begins, you can contact me for guidance. We decide where to meet, either at your home or the hospital, and I will stay with you throughout the birth and for a while after the birth.
Regarding a cesarean section, my presence in the operating room will be subject to hospital policies. In some cases, I may be present during the preparation but not during the surgery itself. After the cesarean, I will be available in the recovery room or by the baby's side, according to your preference.
05. Follow-up meeting
I respect your space and reconnect later at your home to offer further support, especially adjusting to the initial phase at home.
