The Difference between a Midwife & Doula
As our communities get refamiliar with out-of-hospital births, we need to get an understanding of the different roles care takers have at a homebirth. Find out how Midwives and Doula’s compliments each other for well rounded support.
“As a queer couple, the conception process already felt non-traditional and as such, we wanted it to feel the least intrusive as possible…
Andrea helped me and my wife feel comfortable, understood, and supported… she assisted us with an insemination. It's been a joy to continue our working relationship as Andrea has been my/our midwife during my entire pregnancy providing prenatal care and support.”

“It was the most empowering and euphoric feeling I have ever had.”
