This week I am very happy to have Stephanie Brennan as my
guest. Apart from being a wife and a mama of two, she is a Full
Spectrum Doula, Childbirth Educatior and Yoga Teacher. Stephanie is
originally from Florida and recently moved to Jamaica where
she is raising her family, making a name for herself in this space
and serving our women in a most beautiful, unique way.
With my second child, I had a Doula present and she offered me
incredible support so I wanted to shine some light on what these
amazing women do, their role in the birthing process and how
they're helping women to take back their power in their pregnancy,
birth/delivery and beyond.
We speak about some of the top misconceptions (or myths) about
doulas...so in essence we are Debunking Doula Myths.
Here are some of the Myths we tackle:
1. A doula does the same thing as a midwife
2. A doula would take the place of my partner
3. Doulas are only for women who want a natural birth
4. Doulas are too expensive
5. Doulas will advocate on my behalf
We also talk a bit about the importance of postpatum
care- what that really looks like, why this is vital and how
women can prepare for this stage.
I hope that this episode gives you some more information,
helps you to feel empowered about your birth and gives you the
courage to create the support system you need.
