When you are searching for a Baltimore Doula two of the big names you will find are The Womb Room and Doulas of Baltimore. Both practices are great in that they offer prenatal and post partum support in addition to labor. I have also linked the two separate blogs I wrote on both practices for a deeper dive into how they can help support you.
A doula will be right by your side to help you during your pregnancy, birth and post partum. During your pregnancy they will help you develop your birth preference plan through evidence based information. You will be able to tap into their resources for classes to prepare for labor, the 4th trimester and feeding support. You can find attritional support through group classes that are geared toward different parts of your pregnancy journey. During labor they will help you through various comfort measures, help advocate for your desired birth and help support your partner in supporting you.
Both The Womb Room and Doulas of Baltimore offer a free consultation meeting where you can meet with a doula and see if you would be a good fit and get more information on what services they offer.
Lets get to it and find out the differences and similarities between these two amazing Baltimore Doulas!
