Abby Cape Doula Services
Birth & postpartum support for families in central Missouri.
What is a doula?
Your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods are unlike any other time in your life. They deserve to be supported, protected, & celebrated in the way that you need. A doula exists to make sure they are.
A doula does:
Help prepare physically, emotionally, & mentally for labor
Educate & encourage
Offer comfort measures in labor such as massage and positioning
Come alongside the rest of your support team
Work for you and have only your interests in mind
A doula does not:
Make choices for you
Judge or doubt your intuition
Take the place of your partner or other support persons
Do anything medical
Work for a hospital or other entity
About Abby
The more I’ve learned about and been exposed to birth, the more I’ve wanted to be a part of it. It’s a world I didn’t know much about until I was in it myself. My own pregnancies brought their own challenges and opportunity for growth and courage. I believe women deserve to feel the warmth and power of other women coming alongside them on their own journey to and through motherhood. To hear that they are deeply, inwardly strong and capable of hard things. To hear that birth can be beautiful and good.
I am certified in birth & postpartum support.
In-person or virtually, to answer any questions & get to know each other.
