From Womb to Cradle Doula Services, Inc. in Medicine Hat, Alberta is staffed by three DONA International-trained birth doulas. Visit our website at www.wombtocradle.com to learn more about our practice.

Our promises to you are to:

Believe in your ability to birth
Inform you accurately
Respect your wishes
Trust your instincts
Help you acheive your desires for birth, postpartum & beyond!

A From Womb to Cradle birth doula:
  • Does not perform clinical tasks and is not a health care professional.
  • Does not make medical decisions for you. She will help you get the information you need to make your own informed decisions.
  • Will not speak to medical staff regarding matters where health care decisions are being made. She can discuss your concerns with you and suggest options. She can support you in discussions with staff as your advocate, making sure you have the opportunity to discuss concerns.
Read more on the DONA International website.

What do we do?
Your From Womb to Cradle doula will be available to you during your prenatal period, most likely during your last trimester. She will have one consultation (free), where she will meet you and your partner and you would be able to decide if she would be a good fit as your doula. Following the consultation, if you choose to hire a From Womb to Cradle doula, you will have at least two prenatal visits. At the first visit you will talk about your birth plans and what are your desires and write your birth plan. At the second visit, you will cover any questions/concerns you may have, etc. Your doula will provide support via email and phone addressing any concerns you may have. Two weeks before your due date, she remains on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to be notified of the onset of labour. She is notified early in the onset of labour or if the your water has broken so she can provide continuous care throughout the labour process. She will support you and your partner labouring at home or in the hospital for the full duration of labour and up to 2 hours after birth. Your doula will visit you during the post partum period (3 to 5 days after the birth) and provide you with a keepsake birth story. Additional postpartum visits may be possible depending on circumstances.
