Where DC Birth Doulas works
Services families mention
“And Ella - we were shocked that someone who didn't *have* to be there, stayed for the entire labor, participated, and stayed after when we were transferred to the postpartum room!”
“Especially in those last 1-2 months, we leaned so heavily on the birth doulas and they responded to all of our questions and concerns immediately.”
“Both were respectful of our choices (epidural or not, breastfeeding or formula etc) and so supportive in whatever path we ultimately decided to take.”
What families say again and again
“When my milk came in with a massive oversupply, my overnight doula taught me how to manage it such that I never got clogged ducts or mastitis.”
“There were moments when I felt discouraged during my labor but Sarah's reassurance was helpful throughout.”

What families say
I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with DC Birth Doulas! We used DC Birth Doulas for our second birth and really wish we had known about and used them for our first. They offer a trove of resources and support for mom, partner, and baby leading up to, during and after birth.
We had an amazing experience with Amy and I can’t imagine going through the birth of our first child without her! Her knowledge and willingness to help in every situation truly made the process better for the both of us, but especially for my wife, who obviously was the most important!!
I cannot recommend DCBD highly enough. The support from the doulas was the bright spot in my pregnancy-- I felt connected to a community of doulas and other pregnant women who cared about one another, supported one another, and shared heaps of useful, evidence-based information.
We used DC BD for both delivery and post partum care. Rebecca stuck with us for a long, difficult delivery. The doctors at the hospital were unavailable for much of the time due to other deliveries at the same time and Rebecca stepped up and was a huge help to us the nurses.
