Lancaster Doulas for Professional Guidance Through Birth in PA!

Maternity

Pregnancy can be one of the most magical moments of your life. It’s a time of wonder and anticipation as you prepare to meet your little one. Unfortunately, it can also be a little stressful. People see your bump and use it as an unsolicited opportunity to give you the absolute worst advice. And there’s a lot of unknowns you’re navigating! This is why I’m such a big advocate of building a birth team you can trust when things start to get overwhelming. By having a medical professional and a doula, you’re not only getting unconditional support but are also protecting your peace. If you’re looking for a professional birth expert in Pennsylvania, I would love to tell you all about Lancaster Doulas! 

About Lancaster Doulas

Lancaster Doulas was started by Holly Yeager after her second birth. Holly was assisted throughout her labor by doulas and found the entire experience both healing and empowering. After that, she decided to devote her life to helping women have a similar experience. Holly has witnessed countless births and has been there for everything from in-hospital C-sections to at-home breech births. At Lancaster Doulas, she’s joined by a team of birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and lactation consultants. Through the center, you’ll feel equipped for every situation pregnancy could throw at you.

Services

Lancaster Doulas believe in offering you support by building a relationship with you throughout your pregnancy. Once you enter into their care, you’ll be assigned two birth doulas who will be there whenever labor begins. You’ll have multiple visits with them prior to your delivery so you can get to know them and work out a birth plan. Once labor begins, they’ll coach you on positions and will provide natural methods for pain relief. Your doula can assist in any environment and will support your choices throughout pregnancy. You can begin to work with them months prior to conception or can hire them right before you go into labor. 

The center offers exceptional postpartum doulas and lactation consultants. Postpartum doulas are some of the best help you can get following your delivery. Whether you want someone to check on your recovery and help with the baby or need a friend who will stay with your little one for a few hours so you can get some much-needed rest, your doula will be there. The lactation consultants will work with you to troubleshoot any nursing issues and make sure you’re set up for success with your baby.
