Doulas and multiples

[teagansmummy]

Hello everyone!
I am a fairly new doula working in Minnesota. I am looking into how I can best help families welcoming multiples... and I figured getting it straight from the parents of multiples would be a great place to start! I am an antepartum, birth, and postpartum doula, so any suggestions for ANY of these would be great!

I look forward to hearing your suggestions! Thank you so much!

I haven't had my twins yet but if I did have a doula available in my area this what I would need during my pregnancy
Someone on my side! I am telling you it is so stressful to have all your care providers and friends and family pressuring you to just schedule a c-section it would be wonderful to have someone that could have prepared me for that reaction from people because I just did not expect it and was completely blind sided.
For labor and postpartum I haven't been there yet so I dont know for sure... I guess with pressure to induce so heavy for moms pregnant with multiples it would be good to have a doula that is super familiar with helping a mother through an induced labor and all that involves. For postpartum someone that was armed with tons of breastfeeding twins information and position advice will probably be helpful.

Sorry I couldn't give you more ideas but my little guys still have a while to go so I haven't experienced the full range just yet.
