As a doula, I do not:
-
Perform clinical tasks, such as taking blood pressure, fetal heart checks, or vaginal exams. I am there to provide non-medical physical comfort and emotional support.
-
Make decisions for you. I will help you obtain the information necessary to make an informed choice. I will also remind you if there is a departure from your birth preferences.
