Doulas or Birth Assistants are there to support the parents by helping with the planning of the birth before the onset of labor and by helping the mother-to-be once labor starts. In addition, they also help the new parents learn how to care for the infant.
Midwives are trained specialists who tend to focus on natural biological process, paternal participation, infant bonding, drug-free birth, and maternal and infant health. Midwives can work in a home or birthing center setting. They may offer complete prenatal, birth, postpartum and well woman gynecological care.

Cville Doula
Renee Mulcahy
Charlottesville VA 22963
434-465-5683
As your doula, my job is to make sure i'm available to you whenever labor starts. As i'm sure you know, babies come when they want to, not when it's convenient. Because of this, I will be available to you 24 hours a day (via phone) beginning 2 weeks prior to your estimated delivery date, until labor starts. Of course, if you go into labor early, you'll need to call me so I can meet you wherever it is you may be delivering.
During labor, I will assist you with natural pain management through counter pressure, meditation, massage, and/or whatever options you prefer. My goal is to make sure you are as happy and comfortable as possible.
