PREGNANCY & BIRTH SERVICES
Why should you hire Fresno Birth and Baby?
Our doulas work in a partnership. Which means, every family we support will have two dedicated doulas for their pregnancy and birth. What sets our business model apart, is that we provide a team of caring professionals around each family we work with. We would be honored to help you start building your community.
What do we do?
As doulas, we are educated and experienced guides through pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. We arrange individualized preparation for your unique birth. We know that you will make the best choices for your family based off of your own needs and desires, and we will do our best to make sure those expectations are honored by everyone surrounding your birth.
We provide hands-on continuous support through your labor and birth. We utilize proven comfort techniques and continuous encouragement for a safer and more satisfying birth experience. We present you with evidence- based information, and act as a living resource to help you understand your body, your birth, your baby, and your choices.

BIRTH READINESS
The doula team you choose to work with will arrange to go through your prenatal visit(s) in the privacy of your home, and around your schedule. This time is designed to build your relationship with your doulas while you explore your choices in birth together. Your doula team will be available via text and phone throughout your pregnancy. They will then be on-call for your birth for the two weeks before and after your estimated due date.
Your doulas will utilize a wide range of comfort techniques including positional changes, therapeutic touch, calming techniques, and other coping strategies in preparation for your birth. We specialize in teaching partners how best to support you during your birthing process and focus on creating a safe and peaceful space in which to welcome your baby.
BIRTH SUPPORT
Your doula team will work with you to decide at what point you would like one of them to join you in your labor. We will ensure that you have continuous support for up to two hours after the delivery of your baby to help you begin your recovery, and to help establish your initial feeding. We work with your chosen care provider and delivery location to facilitate a peaceful birth environment. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your birth team, supporting you, your partner, your baby, and your medical care providers.
After the arrival of your baby, we will then arrange to visit you for a postpartum appointment in your home. At that time we will talk through your labor, we will make sure you are recovering well, and answer any questions you may have about yourself or your baby.
