About Prenatal Doula Care
There is a growing focus on supporting new mothers in the immediate postpartum period, and it is wonderful to see the growing resources in this area. What about the season of stretching, growing, and preparing for birth that is your first 3 trimesters though?
HCDC also offers prenatal Doula care to support mothers at any point in their pregnancy. Whether you are looking for a friend and companion to help you prepare your mind, body, and heart for a healthy pregnancy in your first trimester, or you are needing some household help while going through a season of morning sickness, prenatal doula care could be valuable support.
This service exists to provide professional support to mothers who could use an objective helping hand as they navigate the journey of pregnancy.
