Bellies to Babies Photography & Birth Services

Bellies to Babies Photography & Birth Services My name is Jackie, I am a stay at home mom currently practicing as a doula and birth photographer. I am a certified doula through DONA International.

What is a doula? The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. Studies have shown that when doulas attend

birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily. A Birth Doula

•recognizes childbirth as a key life experience that the mother will remember all her life

•understands the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor

•assists the woman and her partner in preparing for and carrying out their plans for the birth

•provides emotional support, physical comfort measures and an objective viewpoint

•stays by the side of the laboring woman throughout the labor

•helps the woman get the information she needs to make thoughtful choices, both before and during the labor

•facilitates communication between the laboring woman and the clinical care providers

•works to nurture and protect the woman’s memory of her birth experience.
