Using our Hearts & Hands

Who will you call when you are in labor?  Ask us for a calendar during your due date window!

Depending on which end of the month you are expected to have your baby, you may need to print out two calendars to keep on your fridge.    We are on call for our clients between 38weeks and 42weeks of gestation. 


If you believe you are in labor:
  • Regular contractions that don't go away with position changes or rest OR contractions that come closer together and are getting stronger.
  • Bloody show
  • Rupture of waters: take note of Time, Amount, Odor (it should smell fresh), Color.  You will need to report this to the hospital when you decide to go in, so write it down or even text it to one of the doulas so we have that information when we decide to go into the hospital or for when you call your midwife.
Simply call the Doula who is listed on the day you need.  Our shifts are from 12am to 12am, if you can't remember this, don't worry!  We will make sure a doula gets to you.
