Doula Care Services
What is a Jamaa Birth Village Doula?
The Jamaa Birth Village Doula Team includes highly trained, skilled childbirth professionals who are experts in culturally-led maternity care. Our Doulas provide emotional and physical support, educational and advocacy guidance, and supported navigation through the entire childbirth process. They work together with our midwifery team or your current provider to provide continuous maternal care.
We support all pregnancies, both medicated and unmedicated, and both in the hospital and outside of the hospital. Jamaa Birth Village offers extensive access to additional Doula support outside of our core Doula team through our initiative, the St. Louis Doulas of Color Collective, if you'd like to interview additonal doulas as apart of the Doula selection process.
How can our doulas improve your pregnancy and birth outcomes?
Jamaa Birth Village Doulas are committed to improving birth outcomes for expecting families. "Emerging research suggests that these community-based doulas can improve birth outcomes and reduce racial disparities by providing wraparound support throughout the pregnancy, in addition to the birth and the postpartum period."-Center for Health Economics & Policy 2022
