Doulas in Lakeland + Polk County
Birth doulas and postpartum doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support to women and families during pregnancy and childbirth. They are trained professionals who can support you through the experience of having a baby.
(Curious about the difference between a midwife and a doula? A midwife provides medical care and may also provide emotional support. A doula provides physical and informational support, but does not perform clinical tasks. A doula does not replace the medical care of a midwife, doctor, or obstetrician but can be a vital part of your pregnancy care team).
