Benefits of Doula Care/Role of a Birth Partner

Wednesday, March 31

7:00 to 8:30pm

Local doulas will discuss the history and benefits of doula care: What is a doula? How can a doula support you, your partner, and your expanding family through birth and the postpartum period? We'll also exchange ideas for other birth partners such as husbands, mothers, etc.
