135 | What is a Doula? Preparing for Pregnancy Part 1

Hey sisters! Today’s episode is one I know so many of you need. Over the past few months, several women inside Fertility Framework have gotten pregnant (praise God!), and one of the first questions I always hear is: “Should I get a midwife or a doula?” Or sometimes it’s, “Can I have both?” or “Do I need one if I already have an OB?”

I remember being in that same boat—clueless about what a midwife even was—until I walked through miscarriage, healing, and finally pregnancy with our rainbow baby. That’s when everything shifted for me. I started learning more about God’s design, what natural birth could look like, and how to surround myself with the support I actually needed.

Episode Highlights:

• What exactly is a doula (and what she’s not)?
• What does she actually do during labor, delivery, and postpartum?
• How can a doula help you avoid unnecessary interventions?
• Why it matters to choose the right doula, not just any doula

If you’re someone who wants a faith-centered, low-intervention birth (especially if it’s your first or you're planning a hospital birth), this episode is packed with truth, encouragement, and practical help to guide your decisions.

And don’t worry—we’ll cover midwives vs. OBs in part two later this week!

In Him,

Bekah
