When giving birth in a hospital, a birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to the birthing person and their partner from early labor through delivery and postpartum. The goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported while empowering you to birth with confidence in a setting that can often feel unfamiliar or overwhelming.
Birth Doula Support Includes:
The doula may recommend at home comfort measures during early labor, helping you cope with contractions, suggesting comfort techniques, and guidance with deciding when it’s time to head to the hospital.
Tools including:
Unlike hospital staff who may rotate or come and go, your doula stays with you continuously.
As birth intensifies, the doula helps you stay centered, focused, and calm.
While doulas are not medical professionals and do not replace nurses or doctors, they help you:
If you have a support person, the doula can guide and assist them so they can be present and confident, too.
Your doula stays for a short time after birth to support skin-to-skin bonding, early breastfeeding, and emotional processing of your birth experience.
Our mission is to provide a personalized and authentic experience for every expectant woman. We understand that each pregnancy is unique, and we are dedicated to supporting your needs with warmth, professionalism, and respect. Whether you’re navigating your first pregnancy or adding to your growing family, we’re here to walk this path with you.

Christina, a 20-year-old first-time mother at 26 weeks’ gestation, came into CHOICES for a routine prenatal appointment. I introduced myself, smiled, and asked, “How are we feeling today — you and baby?” She described feeling overjoyed but constantly reminds herself about all to expect during childbirth: anxiety, excitement, negative stories from friends, satisfaction, confusion, and so much more. Wanting and expressing a strong desire for a natural birth in a hospital setting with minimal intervention, and navigating this new chapter of life at a young age, she always felt the need to have continuous support and reassurance throughout the process but was unsure about who to go to and where to start. (I’m happy to say here that her pregnancy continues to be healthy and low-risk under OBGYN care here at CHOICES.)
During prenatal visits, I explored Christina’s goals, fears, and expectations with her. Christina’s partner was included in these sessions so he could feel confident participating in hands-on comfort measures and understanding the beautiful changes her body continues to undergo. The goal is to have a safe and healthy delivery, with possible intermittent monitoring followed by immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth. During our prenatal birth plan session, we created a flexible birth preferences plan that included doula care with continuous support throughout labor by guiding her through relaxation breathing, counterpressure and hip squeezes, position changes to promote cervical dilation progress, affirmations, essential oils, and continuous partner involvement emphasizing emotional encouragement. Our sessions continue to consist of education on the stages of labor with a cervical dilation board, pain management options, birthing and peanut ball exposure, rebozo support, and prenatal yoga.
While currently awaiting labor at now 36 weeks, she feels confident to fully embrace labor mode and intends to ease her way into each wave of contractions that she will encounter. She will feel empowered, supported, and in control of her birth experience, while her partner will be graced with gratitude for learning how to be actively involved in the process of bringing their daughter from the womb to the world.
Our team of board-certified medical professionals and support staff offer safe, trusted, comprehensive care and services at the highest level. Our state-of-the-art facility is located in the heart of Jamaica Queens, NY.
