Doula Service in Palm Beach
What is a Doula?
The word "doula" was from an ancient Greek word, that translate
to "a woman who
serves." Today's "doula" refers to a trained professional, experienced and
certified who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to
moms-to-be before, during and after the birth of their child; or a person who
gives emotional and
practical support during the postpartum period. Here at Blissful Mommy, we
provide these services and more with our Doula Service in Palm Beach.
There are many sustainable studies have been conducted that show when doulas attend births, labor is shorter with
fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.
