Would it surprise you that 60% of the births we attend use an epidural for pain relief? Many which are planned!
While it may seem like doula care is only for "natural" birth, that's a huge lie! Many doulas support births in the hospital with interventions such as a medical pain relief, and us doulas at The Birth Bloc love supporting all types of birth.
While all of us doulas feel very confident supporting and advocating for low-intervention birth when it is the desire of our clients (just check out some of our reviews!), we also love supporting moms who feel confident in their educated decision to utilize modern conveniences for their birth experience. We even have a whole class in our childbirth education series on medical pain relief options because they are such a huge part of birth!
Check out some of these reasons to hire a birth doula if you are planning or curious about using an epidural for your birth.
Doula care goes way beyond hip squeezes, and any of our doulas would love to chat with you about all that a doula can do to help you have a more calm and supported birth.
