Yes. A doula offers emotional, physical, and informational support and does not provide medical care, so they can support you whatever your birth plan or setting is. Your doctor or midwife stays in charge of your clinical care.
How does a provider help during a high-risk pregnancy?
Providers who list this specialty have told us they have experience with things like extra monitoring, bed rest, planned inductions or cesareans, and hospital stays. They can help you prepare questions for appointments and stay supported through changes of plan.
Can a midwife care for a high-risk pregnancy?
It depends on the condition, the midwife's license, and your state's rules. Some midwives co-manage care with an obstetrician. Ask any midwife you message how they handle your specific situation.
