About Liyah

Hey everyone, my name is Liyah Brown I am a certified Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Lactation consultant located in Saginaw, Michigan.

From the moment you find out you're pregnant to the moment you deliver are very vulnerable times and every woman deserves a beautiful birth to remember. As a doula all I want is to be there for you and treat you with the care you deserve. I became a doula because every woman deserves to be heard and treated with the upmost respect during laboring. Every mother should have a calm and peaceful experience.

What to expect

My goal as your doula is to provide you physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother and support person at the time of birth or even during the postpartum period. Me being a first time mom myself I troubled with a lot of the unknown and anxiety that caused me to be terrified of birth! So I am here to advocate, care, and provide you with resources to get you through your pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum as beautifully as possible! During your postpartum experience I hope to make this transition for you whether you're a new mom or a current mom as easy as possible and to take most of the things that you feel has you overwhelmed off of your plate.

Frequently asked questions

What is a doula, and what do they do?

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expectant parents before, during, and after childbirth. They do not provide medical care but focus on offering guidance, comfort, and advocacy to make the birthing experience as positive as possible.

What is the difference between a birth doula and a postpartum doula?

A birth doula primarily supports expectant parents during labor and childbirth, while a postpartum doula provides assistance and guidance during the postpartum period, typically the first few weeks after birth. Birth doulas focus on labor support, while postpartum doulas help with newborn care, light housekeeping, breastfeeding support, and parental well-being.

When should I hire a postpartum doula, and how do I choose the right one for me?

It's a good idea to hire a postpartum doula during your pregnancy to establish a relationship and receive support throughout the journey. To choose the right doula, consider factors like their experience, philosophy, availability, and compatibility with your birth plan and personality.

What is the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife and doula have distinctly separate roles in their support of your birth. Midwives are able to attend both home births, birthing center births, and hospital births, and are responsible for the health of you and your child prenatally and during childbirth.

How is a doula different from a labor and delivery nurse or partner and spouse?

The most important thing a woman needs during labor is continuous support. This means that you have someone by your side continuously from start to finish. A doula rarely leaves your side. Nurses have many other responsibilities other than you. Aside from helping care for you, the nurse is communicating with your care provider, taking care of other patients, documenting care, taking breaks, and taking care of other responsibilities. A nurse’s support ends when her shift does. The doula only has one obligation the whole time she is with you—and that is YOU! Partners and doulas can work together to make a support team for the mother. Sometimes people think that they don’t need a doula because their partner will be with them continuously throughout labor. Your partner is an essential support person for you to have by your side. However, your partner will need to eat, sleep, and use the bathroom at times. Also, most partners have limited knowledge about birth, medical procedures, or what goes on in birth. Doulas and partners can work together to make up a labor support team.
