Labor and Support Coaches

Many women find that support and coaching helps them cope during labor. In addition to your husband or family member, you may choose to bring a professional labor support person called a doula or monitrice. Siblings are welcome but must be supervised by an adult other than your support person. In most cases, your support person will be able to attend Cesarean birth, as well.

If you would like to bring anything from home that would make you more comfortable or at ease, ask your doctor for approval.
