MyBirth Spring Open House

This casual event will give parents the opportunity to learn about birth doulas, postpartum doulas, childbirth education, lactation classes and support, yoga, placenta services, birth photography, peer support groups, and more.

A doula empowers a birthing person to communicate their needs and perceptions and actualize their dream of a healthy, positive birth experience. The support of a doula has been shown to:
– 25% decrease in cesareans
– less forceps or vacuum assisted birth
– less use of epidurals or narcotic pain relief
– shorter labors
– higher APGAR scores for babies
– higher initiation and duration of breastfeeding
– shorter hospital stays
– higher maternal satisfaction with birth
