Labor Lounge

Welcome to the labor lounge, where our mission is to empower women to believe in themselves and their innate strength as women and as mothers.

Why the labor lounge? During labor, we like to create a birth and wellness atmosphere that is peaceful and unique where women can indulge in the rituals of tranquility that is needed during labor and birth. A labor lounge is an area to feel relaxed and the most important is comfort regardless of the birth place.

Why choose a doula? Recent research suggests that labor support can positively impact birth outcomes (Hodnet, et al, 2012).

Women who do have labor support are:

  • 28% less likely to have a cesarean section
  • 31% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to speed up labor;
  • 9% less likely to use any pain medication; and
  • 34% less likely to rate their childbirth experience negatively.

The role of the doula in your labor and birth? During the second or third trimester, doulas of the labor lounge will enlighten you with their knowledge and wisdom. As doulas, our goal is to support you emotionally and physically during pregnancy and labor. In addition, our doulas could help you with information on how to shop around and choose a healthcare provider and birth place that meets your birthing goals and needs. Doulas provide ‘continuity of care’ which means we are available 24/7 to support you whenever you have any questions. During labor and birth, your birth doula will nurture and advocate for a positive birth experience.
