Birth Doula Care

Birth doula care at Knoxville Birth & Baby is designed to embrace and encourage mothers as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. Your doula will provide prenatal visits to get to know you and your desires for the birth experience, evidence-based information about pregnancy and birth, knowledge of comfort measures and positioning for labor, and compassionate support throughout your journey.

What will my birth doula do?
  • Offer knowledge and compassionate support during your pregnancy

  • Assist in discovering your preferences for birth and provide guidance in preparing for the birth that you want

  • Be a continuous presence and offer physical & emotional support during labor 

  • Help you to understand what is happening during labor and to communicate with the rest of your birth team
