Prenatal Services
- Certified doula options available in Rock Co.
- Support before, during and after childbirth
- Our doulas work with pregnant women and establish a relationship that gives the mother freedom to ask questions, and express their fears and concerns. Doulas answer questions or explain any developments that arise during pregnancy.
