Birth Works doulas can certainly help with a planned medicated birth! Your doula will meet with you prenatally 4-6 times to get to know you and your partner. During those meetings your doula will spend time listening to your vision of the perfect birth experience, and help you to write a birth plan. One of the most important decisions you can make during pregnancy is your choice of doctor. Your doula can give you recommendations of doctors who are very woman-friendly and open to your specific birth plan.
