The Virtual Midwife

When Should I Call my Doula?

Listen Later

Charlene had a call from a client in early labor on the morning of recording this episode so we thought it would be a great topic to chat about. Despite the call, we still managed to record this episode and have a few cups of tea and a chat before it was time for Charlene to head over to be with her and the baby was born later that evening. 

So in this episode we discuss: 

  1. When should you call your doula? 
  2. Should you call your doula or your midwife first? 
  3. Should you let the hospital know you are en route? 
  4. Is it different if you are having a home birth? 
  5. Is it possible to call too late?
