Combine this course with doula support on the big day! Even the best-prepared people benefit from having the help of a doula so that their primary focus can be on their emotional and spiritual well-being. At the same time, someone with knowledge and experience holds your space, watches over your physical well-being and comfort, suggests positions, advocates for your birth plan, and helps you communicate with those caring for you.
