Important:
As a doula, I am not a medical professional. I will not perform clinical tasks such as vaginal exams, fetal heart checks, blood pressure, etc. I will not make decisions for you or speak to your care provider on your behalf. I will do whatever I can to get you the information you need to make your own informed decisions. I will discuss your concerns with you, suggest options, and remind you of your birth preferences.
