Have an expecting mom on your shopping list this year? Give the gift that keeps on giving, a gift certificate for doula support! While every mom will have her preference for doula support and what she needs, you can still support her with a gift certificate! Ask her if she is hiring a doula and if she has decided on who. This is a great place to start to get an idea of where she is in the process.

Tailored to Her Preferences

Every mom will have her preferences for a doula so it will be important that you do not pick one for her. If she already has a birth doula, she may be interested in postpartum support or vice versa. We can buy all the fun baby gadgets and accessories, however in the early days all a newborn baby needs is their mom.

Support Mom

Having a supported mom will in turn support the baby tremendously.

There are a few ways you can purchase a gift certificate for doula support. One would be directly contacting her chosen doula and making a payment with them. Another way would be on BeHerVillage.com. Expecting moms can create a registry for services they wish to have through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and friends and family can contribute to that fund.

Doula Support

Lastly, you can also just let Mom know you’d like to help her pay for doula support if she has not picked out a doula yet or hasn’t created a registry on BeHerVillage.  Have a conversation with Mom and let her know you would like to gift her the support of a doula. A birth and postpartum doula can help in many wonderful ways beyond just education.
