What does a doula bring with her to a birth?
The most important things a doula brings to a birth are her hands and her heart. She brings a bag full of things to assist you in labor, but at many births a camera and a bottle of lotion are all that may be retrieved. She will help you know what you should pack and will let you know what you can plan for her to provide when you meet for your prenatal meetings. We usually always bring a camera, a birth ball, lotion and a few items we have found beneficial to other moms in labor.
