CAN A VIRTUAL DOULA HELP ME DURING THE PANDEMIC?
Many hospitals have placed pandemic-related limits on the number of support people that can accompany a birthing person. If you were planning to have a doula present to support you at your birth, this might not be possible. Or perhaps you were planning to hire a postpartum doula to support you after your baby is born. Even as things start to open up again, you may want to protect yourself and your new baby by not having someone who is not family in your home in those early days after baby come.
