FAQs
What is a doula?
A doula is a care worker trained in providing non-judgemental, unbiased, informational, and hands-on support for new families in the perinatal period. From prenatal knowledge, mental and physical prep for labor, to advocacy and partner support in the birthing space, to helping you with baby care basics and light housekeeping in postpartum, doulas are there to make the expansion of your family feel as smooth and supported as possible,
What's the difference between a doula and a midwife?
There’s a lot of crossover in these two fields, as both doulas and midwives can provide emotional support, evidence-based education, and family advocacy to birthing folks and their communities. However, midwives are medically trained and equipped to deliver your baby, and will primarily be focused on the health of the birthing parent and their baby. Doulas, on the other hand, are there to provide extensive care for your whole family, including helping you around your home as you adjust to having a new family member.
How far in advance should I book my Brood doula care?
For both birth and postpartum doulas, it’s generally recommended to book as early as possible, ideally in the first trimester, but it’s never too late to inquire! Booking early allows us to match you with the perfect doula and make sure you get your care needs met and and that they are available for your estimated due date and postpartum period.
Is doula care covered by insurance?
Many of our clients are able to get their doula care reimbursed through extended health benefits or workplace wellness programs. While coverage varies by provider and plan, we regularly see successful claims with benefits like Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Pacific Blue Cross, and Carrot. We’ll provide you with detailed receipts that include the necessary information for your claim, and we can guide you through the process using our insurance coverage guide.
