What's the difference between a doula and a midwife?

Both are evidence-based roles that can help improve outcomes and birth experiences. However, their roles are very different.

A doula is NOT a replacement for a midwife (or OB). However, a midwife CAN be instead of an OB and provide all the clinical prenatal, birth, and postpartum care for expected risk pregnancies.

Why? Doulas often have comprehensive training but this is not clinical training. Midwives have extensive training and hands on clinical practice to safely support pregnancies and births as a primary provider. Midwifery training takes years because of the many potential variables in birth.

Doulas provide continuous support throughout active labor. In home births, they often arrive before your midwife as most people do not yet need clinical care in earlier parts of labor, just support and guidance. For those at birth centers or hospitals, a doula might meet you at home before you're ready to head to the birth facility, or meet you at the birth facility.

Midwives are VITAL for improving overall birth outcomes and provide evidence-based clinical care.

Doulas also provide support associated with improved outcomes but this is through education, physical and emotional support, and empowering parents to be self-advocates.

While doulas might occasionally be employed or contracted with a health system or midwifery practice, they're almost always independent of health systems.

Midwives come in a variety of roles in health care, all important. Some midwives practice independently, some in larger practices with OBs, and some work for the hospital.

Both midwives and doulas offer significant support during pregnancy and birth but their roles are different.

Midwives can provide safe birth care and catch your baby. Doulas provide non-medical support and do not catch babies.

Choosing your maternity care provider is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in pregnancy. 🤍

Midwives and OBs both offer incredible care—but their training, approach, and focus can be very different. Understanding those differences helps you choose the provider who best aligns with your needs, values, and birth preferences.

Whether you choose a midwife, an OB, or both as part of your birth team, you deserve respectful, evidence-based care that supports your vision for birth.

👇🏽 Did you or are you working with a midwife, OB, or both?

While doulas can seem expensive and require a financial investment, when we market ourselves as a luxury, we overlook our immense benefit. Sure, it sounds luxurious to have extra support. However, given how important birth is and the climate of modern maternity care, doulas are invaluable.

As doulas, we provide invaluable:

Emotional support
Physical Support
Education
Support in informed decision making.
Evidence-based support
Prenatal and postpartum support
Practical support
And more! Research shows that continuous labor support, like that of a professional doula, reduces the risk of c-section and other interventions. Continuous labor support increases the likelihood of a positive birth experience as well.

We cannot promise specific birth scenarios and outcomes. However, we can promise continuous, empowering support to help clients feel cared for regardless of how birth unfolds.

When to hire a Doula?

I often get asked, when is a good time to hire a birth doula?

Answer is, anytime! If having doula support for labor and delivery is on your mind, its good to start preliminary conversations, interviews and signing of contracts when you are ready. Ive had clients contact me from the time they get a positive pregnancy test, up until 36 weeks!

What to keep in mind:
Most families like to wait until the start of second trimester for a few different reasons.
1) Their exhaustion and pregnancy sickness has calmed down.
2) They consider themselves in the “safe zone” after 13/14 weeks.

Also keeping in mind that doula packages also typically consists of 1-3 prenatal appointments. Those are usually done within the 2nd and 3rd trimester, and can build a good foundation and relationship before labor actually begins.

So when is a good time or contact a doula? When you are ready!

If you are pregnant and have any other questions about what having birth support may look like for you, feel free to reach out and lets chat!
