Giving birth to a baby is so much more than a physical experience. It is a key
life event full of emotion and meaning. A doula who accompanies a woman in
labor mothers the mother, taking care of her emotional needs throughout
childbirth. A doula also provides support and suggestions for partners that
can enhance their experiences of birth. Doulas are educated and
experienced in childbirth and the postpartum period. I am prepared to
provide physical (non-medical), emotional and informational support to
women and their partners during labor and birth, as well as to families in the
weeks following childbirth. I offer a loving touch, encouragement, and
comfort measures that make childbearing women and families feel nurtured
and cared for.

tends to:
tends to:
- result in shorter labors with fewer complications
- reduces negative feelings about one’s childbirth experience
- reduces the need for pitocin (a labor-inducing drug), forceps or vacuum
extraction and cesareans - reduces the mother’s request for pain medication and/or epidurals
I consider it an honor to be chosen to attend such a intimate and miraculous moment as the birth of your child. I am a birth doula and postpartum doula in Chattanooga, TN. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up an interview. Amy Poarch CD(DONA), HCHD (423) 902-7265 apoarch@comcast.net |
