A doula helps you navigate your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum by providing expert support and advice.
Research indicates that doula support improves a number of outcomes for mothers, families, and babies with no downside. According to researchers, the most benefit is derived when support is provided by a person who:
- is present solely to provide support
- has adequate training, and
- is not a friend or family member
Tulsa Birth Center is proud to offer this kind of expert support. Tulsa Birth Center doulas offer physical, emotional, and educational support for labor, delivery and immediate postpartum; and support births that happen at home, in the birth center, or in the hospital.
Many doula services are covered by SoonerCare. Discount available for clients of Tulsa Birth Center midwives.
