Why the Pittsburgh Doula Network is Essential for New Parents

It doesn’t matter if this is your first child or your fourth. Every parent could use a little bit of help. You know the saying, it takes a village, but in these modern days, that village is getting harder to find. That’s where doulas come in! These trained experts know how to provide you with support that will transform every aspect of your early parenthood journey. As a Pittsburgh newborn photographer, I spend a lot of time getting to chat with new moms about their favorite experts in the area. If you have a second, I would love to tell you why I now always recommend the Pittsburgh Doula Network. 

About Pittsburgh Doula Network

If you’re looking for a center with years of experience, look no further than Pittsburgh Doula Network. This agency is the oldest one in the city and has been there to provide countless families with compassionate care. They are committed to providing you with evidence-based, nonjudgmental support. Most of the doulas are moms themselves and have this shared personal experience. Plus, many have dual certification and can help you with things like lactation support, placenta encapsulation, nutrition, and yoga. While they can’t provide medical advice, they’re here for pretty much everything else!

Services

Pittsburgh Doula Network provides you with both birth and postpartum doulas. For their birth doulas, they offer three tiers, giving you the ability to pick how much experience you’d like for your doula to have. You will get the chance to schedule a virtual consultation ahead of time and be sure the doula you’ve picked will be a good match. Once you have chosen your doula, you will work together to create your birth plan. They will be your fiercest advocate once labor begins and will be by your side as long as needed. You will have a backup doula in case yours can’t make it to your birth. 

If you need some help once your baby arrives, you can opt to have a postpartum doula. Whether you need some support through the days or desperately want someone to cover the night shift, they have options! They will give you advice and encouragement as well as an ear for the times you need to vent. They can provide hands-on help and assist with chores. The postpartum doulas on the Pittsburgh Doula Network team can offer support with lactation, and if you need additional help, they will connect you with one of their postpartum doulas.
