A doula is someone who is hired to provide support and guidance to a pregnant person typically during labour and sometimes back at home postpartum. The services can differ depending on the doula and what they decide to offer.
Let me tell you that after giving birth to three kids, I WISH that I would’ve done the research and hired a doula.

Finding a doula that will be providing you and your family support during this time doesn’t have to be stressful. That’s why I created this list of Halifax doulas to make it easier when you’re searching for that extra support. If you’re expecting and still thinking about whether or not you want a doula, I definitely recommend it! I regret not having one with my babies. They are so worth it and will truly help your pregnancy journey be even more special.
