Prenatal appointments are the moments when a connection is officially made between the mother and the doula. Each person will ask questions to get a sense of who they are and to establish what the mother needs. There are usually 2 appointments that are 2 - 3 hours long. Some doulas like myself, have brochures and guides with information that will be handy throughout the duration of pregnancy, leading up to birth.
With my clients, I ask questions that allow me to peak into who they are for example, What a client desires for labor and birth, which family will be involved, if a caregiver has been chosen, and what fears they may have regarding pregnancy and birth. It's good to address the fears early on so that we can work through them before labor.
Understanding clients as much as possible is fundamental for doulas because it allows us to give the best support according to the mother's health needs and birth desires. It's important to know their expectations and goals. Whether you're a first-time mother or not, fears concerning pregnancy and birth stifle your ability to see the beauty and rawness of new life. Birth can be some of the best moments in your life if you work through those fears, plan, and prepare for the miracle of new life.
