SERVICES
Every birth journey is unique, so you should have options! Choose from our specially designed Birth, Education, Placenta Encapsulation and Postpartum, and Sibling Doula Packages. All services are provided by the Midwest Doulas team, education professionals, and other carefully selected service providers we have long-standing relationships with. No question is too small when choosing your support team, so don’t hesitate to contact us with yours!
BIRTH DOULA SERVICES
There are two main models of doula care. Many doulas use a “back-up” model, which means a “back-up” doula will attend your birth if a scheduling conflict occurs. Which sounds reasonable, until you realize the doula attending your birth may be a complete stranger to you, not the person you entrusted to support your family at the most critical time in your life.
Midwest Doulas was formed to offer an alternative to the “back-up” model of doula care. Our strictly team-based model means you will know the doula that will be supporting your birth. Midwest Doulas assigns a primary doula and one to two additional doulas to the team, so that you have a relationship established with the doula that will be supporting you on the big day.
We want you to have the best birth experience possible, and that starts with knowing the doula at your birth. Midwest Doulas provides support — not surprises –when you need it most!
EDUCATION SERVICES
Midwest Doulas childbirth education and prenatal breastfeeding classes can take place right in the comfort of your very own home.
Choose a class on its own or add to birth doula services or postpartum support packages!
PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION
Placent encapsulation is an ancient practice that has been said to improve maternal healing after birth and reduce instances of postpartum depression. Midwest Doulas makes placenta encapsulation a quick and hassle-free process.
POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES
Postpartum doulas provide support not only to mothers, but to the entire family unit, right within their own home. Start with a free consultation to discuss how a postpartum doula might care for you after birth and ease your family’s transition in bringing home a new little one.
SIBLING DOULA SERVICES
Sibling doulas are a wonderful service dedicated to caring for and nurturing older siblings during the birth of a family’s new baby. Whether your “village” is not geographically near, or you are simply looking for special support for your older kiddo, we are here to help!
