Send us a text Angie Rosier shares insights on doula guidelines at hospitals, exploring the delicate balance between supporting clients and collaborating with medical staff. • Hospitals will sometimes provide doula guidelines that outline appropriate roles and boundaries • Doulas are welcome additions who provide emotional support, comfort measures, and improved communication • Doulas should not perform clinical tasks like checking vital signs, doing vaginal exams, or administering medications • Gray areas exist where doulas may assist with monitors or participate in brainstorming strategies • Hospital policies typically restrict electrical items, open flames, and items requiring heating for safety reasons • Creating a collaborative team atmosphere is essential for positive birth experiences • The primary goal shared by everyone is a healthy mother and healthy baby Please reach out to someone near or far and make a human connection today.
