Congratulations!
"If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it."
Dr. Marshall Klaus
Whether you’re a first time mum or your expecting your second, third or fourth (or more!) baby and would just like some extra support, before, during and after the birth of your baby, a Doula could provide the comfort and continuity of care you’re looking for.
Research has shown that having a doula present at a birth :
Shortens first-time labour by an average of 2 hours
Decreases the chance of caesarean section by 50%
Decreases the need for pain medication
Helps fathers participate with confidence
Increases success in breast-feeding
Can give you greater self-confidence
Makes it less likely you will suffer from post-natal depression
About Me
My name is Mhairi Firman and I am a wife and mother of two children, my daughter born in 2005 and my son born in 2010.
I have a real passion for supporting women through their pregnancy, birth and beyond so becoming a Doula is perfect!
Choosing a Doula that is right for you can transform your birth experience.
As a Doula I cover Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex.
I look forward to hearing from you!
