The Lilies Doula Co. Experience
Hi! I'm Lillian
Hi! I'm Lillian
And I would love to be your doula and/or night nanny! I have been professionally trained by Dr. Robin Elise Weiss through DONA International, and I am so excited to begin this incredible journey with you. I have always been passionate about working with families and babies in whatever capacity I could, and I aspire to be a midwife and eventually own/run a birth center focusing on holistic care. I strongly believe that birth is a beautiful, natural process that a woman’s body was made to do and that you, as the birthing person, are wholly capable of bringing your baby into the world. So, my goal is to support you in doing that however you may need! I have always been told that I have a very calming presence, even by strangers and those who don’t know I am in birth work, and I plan to bring that to every birth I attend, along with my active listening skills, assurance, and knowledge. Together, we will make sure your birth is as comfortable and empowering as possible; I can’t wait to work with you!
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a doula?
A doula is a support person available for you throughout pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. They can provide emotional and physical support and advice throughout your journey to parenthood for both the birthing person and the support person. They cannot provide any medical services, make your decisions, speak for you, or replace having a personal support person. Doulas have been shown to improve birth experiences for everyone involved in the birth, and are an underutilized resource during the journey to parenthood.
When should I hire a doula?
You can start working with a doula at any point in your pregnancy, however, it is recommended that you hire a doula by the time you are in the third trimester to allow time to get to know each other and to ensure they are available when you might give birth. My policy is that first-time parents hire me between 20-25 weeks, and non-first-time parents can wait, but earlier is always better!
When in labor do you come?
Generally, I ask that you contact me once you think labor has started, and we will talk about whether I should come then or wait a little longer for labor to progress. Keep in mind that it may take me up to one hour to come to you, and we will consider this when planning my arrival.
What happens if you're unavailable when I'm in labor?
We will make a plan for the unlikely event that I am unavailable when you are in labor at one of the prenatal visits. Rest assured, as I do have backup doulas who can take my place in this situation.
