On-Call Doula Program

WOMB Doulas will offer emotional, physical, and informational support to women interested in having an extra support person at their birth.

The doula will offer support based on what the mother/partner believe is best for their birthing experience and baby.

WOMB is currently designing a program structure to best serve the Doulas and women of the North Country, using a community-based three-day Doula training, designed by the region’sHomebirth Midwife.

Anticipated Program Structure

A group of on-call doulas and back up doulas using a shared calendar consisting of 12-hour shifts.

The doulas are on call starting at 37 – 42 weeks. Mothers will have several opportunities to meet the doulas prior to their due date.

When a mother thinks she has started labor and decides she needs a doula she will call a general number that will forward directly to the doula on call at that time. Doulas must have their phone on 1 hour prior to shift start to communicate a shift transfer from one doula to another.

The doula will offer support for the remainder of her shift. At the end of the shift the doula can decide to stay or call in the next doula on-call

If you are a doula or interested in being a doula serving Northern Grafton & Coos County, NH or the Northeast Kingdom of VT please email info@wombinitiative.org or call 603-684-8635 to learn more about how to be involved in launching this program with WOMB!
