Virtual Doula support during pregnancy and birth during COVID-19.
It’s a daunting time with rapidly changing and conflicting guidelines for pregnant and birthing people. Leaving many families with questions about their options and rights. This is a time when birthing people need MORE SUPPORT not less. Every birth journey should be filled with support, respect and love and it still can be! As we all navigate through a changing world together we can still work together successfully. I am dedicated to preparing and supporting birthing people now and always.
“Will my partner be able to see our baby born?”
“Can COVID-19 be passed to baby in the womb?”
“What if my doula isn’t allowed into the hospital?”
“Are hospitals separating mother and baby if mom gets temperature?”
“Can I breastfeed if I have COVID-19”
“I want to go the hospital as late as possible, how will I know?”
“Is it impossible to have an intervention free birth in the hospital now?”
“What if something happens and I can’t advocate
From question and answer sessions to full doula support I am here for you.
Less fear allows for a more positive birthing experience regardless of external factors so you can focus on enjoying your new baby and expanded family.
My virtual birth doula support remains continuous and comprehensive prenatally, during labor, birth and after. Perhaps you’re thinking how can a square on the computer help me but it can be powerful in your path to a supported birth! Just read the testimonial below from a fully virtually supported birthing family!
I have ensured that my virtual service is fully HIPAA compliant and how to navigate the new challenges that Covid-19 has brought by completing a virtual doula training with Ancient Song Doula Services to ensure my clients are fully covered. I work with you, the L&D nurses and your Ob or midwife in the pretty much the same way.
“Working with Kat Blandino during pregnancy and delivery was one of the best decisions we ever made. Her prenatal education sessions were informative, engaging, and amazingly thorough and thoughtful. Her virtual support during a 27 hour induction and delivery was invaluable and honestly, heroic, particularly when I decided I wanted an epidural after 15 hours. but most of all her support postpartum has been a lifesaver. I don’t know what we would have done without her checking in on us in the early days and weeks. We are so grateful to Kat for her loving presence in our lives and the earliest days of our son’s life”
