 Good thing we are a team of experienced Doulas! We are used to practicing patience as we wait for babies. That being said, never in our wildest dreams did we imagine practicing our "pause" for COVID-19. Since mid March our profession has been on quite a rollercoaster! Pre-COVID Birth Doulas were welcome in all area hospitals, with all the unknowns of the novel coronavirus we were out, and currently we are back in! If you have been considering Birth Doula support but weren't sure of our status here's what you need to know about in hospital support. In May of 2020 birthing people in Alberta were permitted to have 2 support persons with them in hospital. This is commonly partners and doulas! However the final decision is always left to the discretion of the until Charge Nurse upon arrival.
If you are interested in reading the current Alberta Health Services support/visitor guidelines they can be found by <<HERE>> As always, health and safety remains a priority and our team is suited with appropriate PPE. We are eager to provide the in-person, evidence based Doula support you desire. Families matter. Birth matters. Postpartum support matters. We see you. We can get through this together!
