DFW Doula Guidance Counselor
Talk to a doula before choosing your OB-GYN or midwife.
Choosing your provider is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in pregnancy — and most families are forced to decide fast, before they truly understand their options. A doula can help you slow down, get clarity, and confidently choose the care team that fits your values from prenatal care to postpartum support.
Inspired by our belief that doulas are not just for birth—they’re guides for the entire journey.
“doulas are not just for births.”
Quick answer: A doula isn’t medical care — a doula is a trained, experienced guide who helps you understand your choices, ask the right questions, and build a plan that fits you.
WHY TALK TO A DOULA FIRST
1) Get clear before you commit
Many parents pick a provider first… and later realize the practice or hospital culture doesn’t match what they want. We help you define your preferences early, so your provider aligns with your goals.
2) Know what to ask (and what to watch for)
We help you prepare smart interview questions for OB-GYNs and midwives, understand “green flags,” and avoid common mismatches.
3) Doulas know the DFW birth world
Doulas work alongside many different professionals and can help you navigate trusted options and resource partners throughout pregnancy and postp

-
Yes. Talking to a doula early can help you clarify your birth preferences, understand local options, and choose a provider whose approach matches your goals.
-
No. This can be a one-time guidance consult — or it can be the start of ongoing support if you decide you want it.
-
Provider selection, questions to ask at consults, birth preferences, education planning, postpartum support planning, feeding support options, newborn care support, and building a realistic support team.

As soon as possible — ideally when you first find out you’re pregnant, or right before you start interviewing providers.
-
No. Doulas provide non-medical educational, emotional, and practical support. Your medical provider handles medical care.
