If you’ve recently found out that you’re pregnant, you might begin making a birth plan early so that you’re as prepared as possible. One component of your plan will likely be how you want to deliver your baby and if you plan to have any type of medication. An option to consider is a doula who can offer support if you want to have a natural birth.
Comfort
One of the benefits of a natural birth doula in San Clemente, CA is that you’re going to have someone by your side who can provide comfort throughout labor and delivery. This is someone who can do what makes you feel relaxed so that the delivery process is as comfortable as possible without drug intervention if you choose to deliver naturally. They can do everything from massage your back and shoulders, rub your feet, or simply sit with you to hold your hand so that you aren’t alone.
Interventions
Since a natural birth doula in San Clemente, CA helps to coach you through the birthing process with relaxation techniques, this can result in a decreased need for interventions when it’s time to deliver your baby. These interventions can include a vacuum or forceps that might be needed to help guide your baby through the birth canal. Your doula can help with stretches before you go into labor so that the muscles used for delivery are as stretched and as strong as possible while also offering various tools that can be used during delivery, such as a ball or a trapeze made with a towel that you can pull on for support.
