Who Needs a Doula?!

Why Hire a Doula When You’ve Got It All Figured Out?

Birth and postpartum—piece of cake, right? Who needs a doula when you can just rely on your own endless wisdom and the unwavering support of your family and friends?

Here's why you absolutely, positively don't need a doula if this is you:

👉 You're completely prepared emotionally, mentally, and physically for birth — no need for reassurance, guidance, or emotional support whatsoever.

👉 Your partner is a pro at supporting you during labour — He knows precisely when to use counter pressure, when to stand up for your preferences, how to help you breathe through contractions, and how to stay zen even if birth decides to throw a curveball.

👉 You're never overwhelmed by the avalanche of information, opinions, and conflicting advice about birth, breastfeeding, or newborn care. Nope, not you!

👉 You've devoured all the latest research on birth interventions, informed consent, pain relief options, and postpartum recovery — and you can apply it all effortlessly, even when you're exhausted, hormonal, or in the throes of active labour.

👉 You know that every healthcare provider will have all the time in the world to support and cheer you on, explaining everything during labour — and they'll be glued to your side the whole time.

👉 Who needs someone specially trained to reduce discomfort naturally, guide you into effective birthing positions, or support you through tough decisions? Certainly not you!

👉 You're a newborn sleep, feeding, and postpartum recovery guru — no extra help, encouragement, or rest needed here, thank you very much!

👉 You've already got a village — a whole squad including your aunt Martha ready to support you, protect your rest, nourish you, listen to you, reassure you, and lift you up during the postpartum transition.

So, if you've been blessed with an ironclad support system and encyclopedic knowledge of childbirth, hiring a doula might just be the most unnecessary splurge ever. You've got this!

Now for the rest of us...

We might feel like we just got on a wild ride—amazing, life-changing, and sometimes making us wonder, “What did we get ourselves into?”

Your doula could just be like a superhero sidekick, filling in the gaps between the doctor's 'suggestions' and your need for personalized support.

So, what does a doula actually bring to the table?

💛 Emotional support (for when Google and your aunt’s advice aren’t enough)

🤲 Comfort techniques (because “just breathe” isn’t a plan)

🗣 Clear explanations and advocacy support (so you don’t freeze when your doctor says “We recommend…”)

👨‍👩‍👧 Support for partners (so he feels helpful instead of helpless)

🏡 Postpartum care (because babies don’t come with a manual — but doulas are close)

Imagine having someone by your side who actually knows what they're talking about and doesn't panic when your birth plan suddenly looks like a plot twist!

✨ Support is great…But birth support from someone who actually knows what a mucus plug is? Even better!
