Don’t Let Covid-19 Steal Your Birth Experience

Currently, with the emergence of this pandemic, there are so many things in disarray. We're all trying to adjust to a "new" normal. Childbirth is such a unique experience that despite the circumstances, it should be a celebration. Daily there is a presence of uncertainty and confusion in the maternal community. Expectant families are changing their birth plans and support team. I'm here to tell you don't let COVID-19 steal your birth joy. You have waited for this day with anticipation and happiness. You have walked the path to meet this beautiful soul. We cannot control all things around us but can control our reaction to it. Your birth plans may have changed, but your ability to birth has not. It doesn't matter who is by your side you will be awesome. On your initial birth plan, it may have included a doula and your partner, but now you're forced to choose one. What if I told you doula support is still an option, but not in a physical sense? Then maybe adjustments to your birth plan are not ruined. Even though it isn't the birth imagined, you can still create a happy outcome. 
The consideration of Virtual Birth Support can be essential for a revised birth plan. This chosen support is vital in putting your mind at ease, and in just knowing there is continual guidance readily available to you. As a professional doula in the community, I want you to know many of us are still here in support of creating your exceptional birth story experience. Our virtual doula support package can be one of the most optimal choices in welcoming your baby Earth-side.  While our physical presence may not be possible, our dedication to you will not change. We are committed and strive towards giving you the knowledge, emotional support, and empowerment tools to own your birth. We understand that this service brings edits to your birth plan; however, our mutual goal is the certainty towards birthing your baby is special. We also understand that seeking this form of support is not to lose sight of how far you've come and prepared for a momentous birth story.  We're here more than ever to be your cheerleader and support you towards your labor's finish line. Through every wave, we will be there for you. Even though we can't hold your hand, know that you are in our hearts. Let us support you through one of the most beautiful moments in your family's life.
