Shared care involves two Doulas working collaboratively to provide comprehensive support throughout your pregnancy and childbirth, each contributing their unique expertise and capabilities.

 

Throughout the antenatal sessions, both of us will be present, ensuring you have equal opportunity to build rapport and relationship with each of us. Additionally, we will both be on-call for your birth, guaranteeing you the presence of a familiar and trusted support person. This approach eliminates the need for emergency backups whom you may not know.

 

In the event of an extended labour, we can seamlessly alternate, ensuring you consistently receive support from a familiar Doula best suited to your needs. Importantly, the fee remains unchanged from individual hires, providing you with the benefit of two exceptional doulas for the price of one.

​

We work cohesively and remain in contact with one another throughout to ensure you benefit from our own unique experience and expertise at all stages of your care.

​

When working together in Shared Care, we usually say that availability may limit you from having a choice over who comes on the day, as we work on an on-call rota during your due window. We also never know when babies are going to make their appearance! However, if we are both available when you are ready for some support, you can let us know who you would prefer to come. We work in our Shared Care partnership all the time and there is absolutely no ego involved at all - so please let us know if you have a preference of who supports you.
