Navigating pregnancy can be hard. There’s simply so much that can happen, and it’s impossible to know exactly what your birth experience will look like. While parenting books and classes might help, the very best thing you can do is find a doula who will combine their professional experience with compassion for personalized assistance. Luckily, this town has some of the best experts around! As a Raleigh newborn photographer, I get to chat a lot with new parents who have had their ideal experience. Here are the Raleigh doulas I now always recommend!

Doulas of Raleigh are going to be there every step of the way as you prepare for motherhood. They offer a team so you can pick the doula that perfectly matches your style. From there, they are going to help you draft your birth plan and find the resources to make it a reality. They will be there throughout your labor, and you can book a postpartum doula who will support you as you navigate the exciting but taxing newborn stage.

Second Nature Lactation is a private practice founded by Karissa, a local Raleigh birth doula, lactation consultant, and childbirth educator. While Karissa has practiced all across the world, these days, she mostly focuses on offering virtual care. When you book a consultation, Karissa is going to make sure you have all the information you need for a seamless delivery. She can walk you through everything, including finding a medical provider, creating a birth plan, preparing your partner, and remaining calm throughout labor.

The Bun’s Done is a birth doula service founded by a seasoned Raleigh birth worker. The founder, Elin, has spent years helping parents as they prepare for their labor. She will be here to provide you with nonjudgmental support and evidence-based information so you can make the decisions that are right for you. You can hire her as a birth doula, a postpartum doula, or a childbirth educator. She also offers placenta encapsulation.
