Birth & Postpartum Doulas

COVID-19 NOTICE: Winnipeg hospitals currently have a 1-support person rule during labour. As this may subject to change based on pandemic regulations, check with your care provider or Shared Health for the most up to date information.

Doulas can be a great resource to help your family navigate you through the on-going pandemic-related changes. They can provide support families through pregnancy, birth and beyond by offering alternative types of care during the pandemic, such as virtual support, or supporting families during pregnancy and postpartum plus remotely during birth.

Winnipeg has many different types of doulas include: Birth Doulas, Anenatal Doulas, Perinatal Doulas, Postpartum Doulas, Fertility Doulas, etc. All doulas have different training, specializations, experience, skills, pricing structures / service inclusions, and even beliefs about pregnancy, birth and baby care.
