Birth Doula Support

It’s great that you are thinking of having the support of a Doula for your birth. If you would like to find out more, I offer a free initial meeting for you to learn more about how the support of a Doula could help you and explain more of the various packages I offer.

  • When your baby is born I will be with you to help guide you with the first feed and make sure you feel settled.

 

  • When you are home I will come and see you for a postnatal visit.  In this session we can discuss how you are feeling and any questions or concerns you may have about the birth, your baby and early parenting. Some like this to be when they arrive home (in the case of a hospital birth) so that I can help them get settled and especially help with feeding. If you need further support and I am unable to help myself, I will make every effort to signpost you in the right direction.  

My Standard Birth Doula Package includes:

  • During your pregnancy and up to six weeks after the birth of your baby I will be available for email or phone support and will find you evidence based information should you need it

 

  • Two private Birth Preparation sessions in your own home or via Zoom at a time that suits you. During these sessions we would cover the physiology of birth, what to expect and the relevant information to make sure that you feel fully informed about the choices you have for your birth preferences.  I will always support the choices that you make. During these sessions we would also cover feeding and how to prepare for those first few weeks with your baby. These meetings are a great way of me getting to know both you and your partner. To become a familiar face to you both, understanding your choices and what is particularily important to you is such a part of my support to you both as a Doula

 

  • There is also the option to learn the skills of Hypnobirthing in addition to the Birth Preparation sessions.  These can be again privately in your own home  or via Zoom and at a time that suits you. To learn more about Hypnobirthing and how it can support your labour click HERE

  • I will be on call for the birth of your baby 24 hours a day and 7 days a week from 10 days before your due date and until your baby is born.

 

  • During your labour I will stay by your side (wherever possible) either at home if it is a home birth or I will be with you as you transfer to hospital and make sure that you and your partner feel fully supported throughout.

What clients say…

Read about our clients' birth and Doula experiences and how The Whole Birth Company's services helped in their pregnancies, labour, birth and postpartum.

We absolutely adore Fiona. We both felt so safe and well cared for during the births and I'm certain it wouldn't have gone so well if she hadn't been there. Having a doula helping you in the weeks post birth will be the best decision you ever make. Fiona was not only great company, but a fantastic cook as well as brilliant at entertaining our two year old. When you have those tough nights of little to no sleep, to know that Fiona was coming in the morning made it much more bearable. I was able to catch up on a few hours sleep in between feeds and come downstairs to a tidy house, a happy toddler, sleeping/settled baby and lunch on the hob. Literally the best feeling ever.

Alice

Having Fiona as my Doula was a vital support for me and helped to enable me having the natural birth that I dreamed for. I am grateful for my son having a gentle start into his life and me having an empowering and strong experience. I am forever thankful to Fiona, no words can even describe that.

Julia

Fiona’s presence was so calming and helpful. It was great to have someone else during the birth which I feel could have been very intense without this support.

As the Dad I appreciated having Fiona with us both during the birth and afterwards as a postnatal doula.  It made such a difference to be able to concentrate on our new baby without having to worry about anything else.

Robbie

What a Woman – An Outstanding Doula and wonderful lady.  Despite having severe tokophobia and opting for a planned C-section, Fiona was incredible throughout.  She brought such calm to such a tricky time – breathing techniques, cuddles and even homemade snacks.  She helped with breastfeeding afterwards and kept in touch.  Could not recommend enough!

Emily

I'll be forever thankful for you being my doula during my first birth. Thank you Fiona for all the good words, the warm hands and your calm presence during the birth of my first son. I experienced the natural birth as wonderful as I hoped and your presence during this extraordinary time helped me a lot. I would recommend every woman to find herself a doula for her birth, as this birth only happens once. It matters.
I decided last minute to search for a doula and it was great to meet Fiona. You always need to meet first before deciding and you will know if this is the right person for you or not. For me, Fiona was the perfect company during the long hours of birth. Having her support made the birth of my son an experience that I'll always love to remember.

Julia

Fiona’s calming yet proactive approach swiftly shifted our home to a relaxed haven for recovery and renewal following the birth of my daughter. She has helped me with difficulties with breastfeeding, kept our family nourished and hydrated, the house clean and tidy, reassured me with tips on the practicalities of newborn care, helped my toddler adjust to life with a baby sister and even enabled my husband to take a well earned rest too! Her standards in everything she does are second to none and I can’t recommend her post natal doula service enough.”

Claire

My husband and I would love to recommend Fiona as a Doula for anyone who is looking for a nice and caring person.  She was literally our guide throughout my pregnancy and afterwards.  She was very helpful at all times and especially when things became very complicated for us.  I enjoyed her Hypnobirthing recordings and our Zoom sessions as well.  We learnt so much from her.  We definitely felt confident about what to do when my labour started and progressed and it meant we could look forward to seeing our little one.  Thank you again!
