Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MISCARRIAGE doula?

A miscarriage doula is someone who provides knowledgeable guidance and support to people who experience pregnancy loss at any gestation in pregnancy. They provide emotional and mental support through grief coaching and are trauma-informed individuals.

IS A DOULA A MEDICAL PROVIDER?

Doulas are professionally trained and trauma-informed individuals. While they have extensive knowledge in the inner-workings of the medical field as it relates to pregnancy and miscarriage/stillbirth, they are not licensed physicians and will not diagnose or treat any conditions. Through our services you will not receive treatment plans or diagnoses.

What are the benefits of having a doula?

When it comes to a birth doula, studies have shown that having a doula present during labor can lead to shorter labor times, fewer interventions, and increased satisfaction with the birth experience. With pregnancy loss, we don’t have access to this type of testing and funding however, we see that our clients feel emotionally and mentally more equipped to manage grief, trauma, and life after loss whether that includes another pregnancy or not.
