Doula

A doula works to reduce fear and instill courage and strength so that you feel safe and strong before the birth of your child. With a doula by your side, the conditions for a positive birth experience are optimized. 
 

What does a doula do?

Feeling supported during childbirth provides peace and safety, which in turn increases the possibility of a positive experience. We know that a positive birth experience strengthens your self-esteem, your relationship and contributes to a good start to parenthood. 

 

In todays maternity care, you are offered a high level of medical security. It is a challenge for the staff on site to also provide emotional safety, as there is a high workload and a lack of relationship-based care. Our mission as doulas is to help you navigate the birthing process, provide continuous support and be the person in the room who focuses on your well-being. We assist with information, such as what you can expect at the hospital, remind you of your options and guide you in comfort measure strategies. We continuously monitor how you feel emotionally, physically and mentally throughout the birth.

We have a lot of experience and carry many tips and tricks -but the important thing is not what we do but how we make you feel. 

We are so grateful that we made the decision to have a doula at the birth. I was strengthened in giving birth on my terms and daring to stick to it and daring to visualize my dream birth. As a parent, I appreciated the security that my partner had support and a team player at all times. For me, it was enormously nice to have another pair of hands that could pat, support and relieve pain in different ways.

The advantage of doula-duo is that there was a double competence and experience bank. There were many nice conversations with both Malin and Aniara! For us, it also felt safe to know that in the event of a long process that the doulas could be replaced and thus be able to be a good support all the way. In short, it was worth having a person with you who never left the room. For us, it wasnt even a question of whether we should have a doula with us at the next birth.

It is impossible to summarize how much our doula meant to us and to our birth experience. We wish everyone who is expecting a child the same wonderful experience both before and during birth. I recommend everyone to hire a doula! You wont regret it. My partner and I are so happy that we chose to have a doula and we will never give birth without that support. It gave us both our dream birth.

- Ida

The prenatal talks with our doula made both my husband and I feel well prepared for the birth.
During the birth itself, it was really nice to have an extra support person. At one point I was afraid that problems I had during my first birth would be repeated. The doula was the only one who understood my fear and thus she, together with the midwife, was able to explain that my fear was not justified.
We can really recommend hiring a doula.
