Soy una doula porque quiero servirte y apoyarte a tener la experiencia más tranquila y segura en su embarazo, durante el parto, la hora dorada, y las semanas después del nacimiento.
Quiero estar a su lado dándose consuelo, ánimo y palabras de afirmación y apoyarte con la lactancia.
Sigo métodos naturales de alivio del dolor. Ofrezco un apoyo de tipo emocional y físico, pero nunca médico.

¿Qué NO hace una doula de parto?
No hago ningun tipo de intervención clínica ni exámenes médicos
No ejecute trabajo médico, ni clínico (tomar presión sanguínea, tactos vaginales, leer monitores, recetar, etc)
No tomo decisiones por ti
No hablo con los médicos, doctores o enfermeras por ti
No comenta nada sobre sus decisiones ni sobre las recomendaciones médicas
