What happens in this visit

  1. Your doula gets to know you, your pregnancy, your support system, and what matters most to you.
  2. You talk about your hopes for birth and any worries or questions you have.
  3. Your doula explains what a doula does and does not do, and answers your questions.
  4. Depending on where you are in pregnancy, you go over topics like the stages of labor, your birth preferences, comfort options, and planning for after birth.
  5. Your doula can show you comfort techniques like breathing, positions, and relaxation, in person or over video, and you can practice them together.
  6. You finish with a plan for your support and your next steps.

Who it is for

For you if you are pregnant, whether this is your first baby or you have given birth before, and whether or not you know anything about birth yet. Your doula supports you alongside your doctor or midwife and does not replace them.

What to have ready

  • Your health details and your questions for this visit, finished in your Mahmee account before the visit.

  • A partner or support person, if you want one there. It is your choice.
