When things don’t go as planned during labor and birth

When people have a looming induction or find out they may need a cesarean, it’s common for parents to wonder how a doula can still be of use, especially if they’ve already hired their doula! Today we’re going to talk about how a doula serves families that are having births that need a bit of medical intervention. Things like an induction or a C-section (whether planned or unplanned) can be jarring, so we’ll discuss what to expect in that situation.Please feel free to reach out to us with any recommendations for show episode ideas.
