Why You Need a Doula with Jeanna McNeil
What is a doula and why would you want one? In today’s episode we will discuss what a doula is, how they play a role in birth, and their ability to enhance what a partner can offer. I was a labor and support doula for over ten years and know first-hand the benefits of using a doula. Doulas support every family and every type of birth, not just unmedicated births. It’s not necessary to have one type of birth in mind to receive the assistance of a doula. During this podcast we will talk about the hard evidence that points to the benefits of having a doula in labor. This data may help you feel more confident about your choices moving forward. As a bonus, we also go over questions you may use when you are interviewing a doula.
To go deeper into this conversation on Yoga| Birth| Babies, we have Jeanna McNeil. She is a birth doula, birth photographer, & maternal mental health advocate. Her passion is serving women and families locally in Alabama and virtually all over the world.
Jeanna would like to share that birth is not just something to be endured, moreover, it can be a beautiful and empowering experience no matter how or where someone gives birth. She says, that parents may not remember all the details about their experience, but they will remember how they felt, how they were treated and that experience will carry into parenthood. Jeanna believes that the way that you birth matters and investing in that experience is invaluable. You are going to receive so much from this conversation, you won’t want to miss this.
