Preparing for an Unmedicated Birth

An unmedicated birth isn't simply about deciding not to use pain medication.

Preparation can include understanding the stages of labor, learning coping techniques, practicing positions, preparing your partner, thinking through your birth environment, and discussing your preferences with your healthcare provider.

We help you prepare for the experience while remembering that labor can be unpredictable.

Comfort Measures During Labor

Depending on your individual situation and the services included in your package, doula support may include non-medical comfort measures such as:

• Breathing and relaxation techniques

• Position changes

• Movement

• Counterpressure

• Massage

• Hands-on comfort

• Encouragement

• Emotional reassurance

• Partner coaching

• Creating a calm environment

The goal is not to promise a particular outcome.

The goal is to help you feel supported as you move through labor.

What If I Change My Mind?

You are allowed to change your mind.

You may begin planning an unmedicated birth and later decide you want an epidural or another form of pain relief.

You may also discover that your medical circumstances require a change in plans.

Your doula will not judge you.

We support you through the birth you experience—not only the birth you originally imagined.

Partner Support

Your partner can play an important role during an unmedicated birth.

We can help your partner understand comfort measures, positioning, encouragement, communication, and ways to stay involved without feeling like they have to do everything alone.

Faith-Centered Unmedicated Birth Support

For clients who desire Christian support, prayer and faith-based encouragement can be incorporated into your experience.

Your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing all matter.
