Come on out to Ohana Midwifery & Wellness, PLLC in Clayton. Today 10-12. Face painting, crafts, snacks, and meet your midwife.

Lots of people ask me what the difference is between a doula and a midwife.



A midwife is a medical professional who actually delivers your baby. Midwives also provide medical care throughout pregnancy as well.

A birth doula is a non-medical professional who provides physical, educational and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and immediately afterwards.



While a midwife is incredibly supportive and important, they also have a responsibility to care for multiple patients at once. As your doula I have the gift of being present to support you continuously throughout your entire birthing experience.

As a birth doula, I offer continuous support throughout your pregnancy and your labor and birth.



So often, pregnant people talk about the midwife or doctor that they really love and that they hope they're "on call" for their labor and delivery.



But that's the thing...it all depends who's on call.



And, you can get lucky and have a great nurse but they'll have to leave at the shift change.



As your birth doula, I'm the one who will meet with you for every single prenatal appointment that we schedule and for the duration of your labor - no matter how long it takes.



In labor, knowing what to expect and having someone by your side that you trust helps you stay relaxed and confident.



DM me to set up a time to chat about what birth doula support might look like for you.

Just Kira on TikTok What birth plans?

Birth doulas offer evidenced-based information to you throughout your pregnancy.



So here's some evidence-based research that shows the benefits of hiring a birth doula.



Research shows that people who use a birth doula are:

*less likely to need Pitocin

*less likely to have c-section

*less likely to use any pain medication

*more likely to rate their childbirth experience positively

It’s gonna be a great day! Coffee, podcasts, and essential oils. I’m in my happy place. ❤️

A fabric womb made by Angélique du Coudray, a French midwife who was commissioned by King Louis XV to reduce infant mortality. From 1760 to 1783, she traveled all over France, visiting poor rural women and sharing her extensive knowledge with them. It is estimated that she trained some 10,000 women.
Du Coudray also invented the first lifesize obstetrical mannequin, for practicing mock births, and published a well-received midwifery textbook
