Why You Should Join Us
Support from
Pregnancy to Postpartum with Wise Birth Doula Collective
At Wise Birth Doula Collective, we offer continuous and structured birth doula services in Edmonton. We support individuals before, during, and after childbirth. Our team provides consistent, informed assistance to reduce uncertainty and enhance the birthing experience through preparation, presence, and postnatal care.
​
Prenatal Doula Support
Once you confirm your doula services, you will be paired with a primary and secondary backup doula. We schedule two prenatal meetings to discuss your birth preferences, create a support plan, and provide practical guidance. Our doulas are on call 24/7 from 37 weeks of gestation, ensuring support whenever you need it.
Doula Support During Labour and Birth
Your on-call doula will meet you at home or in the hospital when labour begins. During birth, your doula will offer:
-
Informational support: Explaining the stages of labour, medical terms, and any suggested interventions.
-
Physical support: Techniques like counterpressure, massage, and position changes to manage pain.
-
Emotional support: Continuous encouragement to help you stay focused during the challenging moments.
Post-birth Doula Support
Your doula will visit within the first week after delivery to assist with recovery, infant feeding, and newborn care. The session is client-led and offers guidance on soothing, sleep strategies, and self-care. Additional postpartum sessions can be arranged if needed.
