Demystifying Doulas: What is a doula? And why everybody needs one
Manage episode 513638496 series 3618913
In the first episode of our Stony Brook Doula Partnership series, we sit down with experienced doula Ebonie Tudor to answer the question every expectant parent should ask: What exactly does a doula do?
Ebonie shares how doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We talk about:
💛 How doulas help keep both birthing parents and partners calm and confident
💛 What it’s like to have a doula join you in your home before birth
💛 The difference between midwives and doulas
💛 How doulas stay by your side for your entire labo
💛 The ways doulas open up communication with your medical team
💛 How continuous support can help you have a more positive birth experience
Whether you’re expecting your first baby or adding to your family, this conversation will help you understand the unique role doulas play—and why Stony Brook is making this support available to more families than ever before.
