The answer is a "Doula". Doulas are trained women who specialize in infant care, breastfeeding support, meal preparation,sibling care, companionship transportation, errand runs, laundry, and light housekeeping. The focus of the doula is infant family bonding, emotional support, encouraging parents to catch up on sleep while the doula catches up on laundry, household chores and childcare. Support packages and gift certificates can be purchased through the GBMC Doula Touch program 443-849-6287. Great gift idea for a baby shower!!!

We recommend this class to be taken as soon as a pregnancy has been confirmed and as late as your 30th week of pregnancy. Sessions include physical changes and discomforts of pregnancy, wellness and nutrition, fetal testing and results, warning sign of pre term labor, what to expect in labor and delivery, the role of your partner , doula support and postpartum recovery adjustments. Wow!! What a great way to prepare yourself for the upcoming months.
This weekend format of the Childbirth Education class allows couples to complete their labor and delivery education in one day. Great class for parents with a busy work schedule or for those who just like to get it done. Content includes phases and stages of labor, breathing and relaxation techniques, positioning for comfort, the role of your partner/doula support, and medication options. A tour of the obstetrical area is included.
Prepare your mind and body for your upcoming birth. Increase your flexibility, strengthen your body, build your confidence, and relax with the learned techniques of pregnancy yoga. Great to take anytime during your pregnancy with your doctor's approval.
