Hello again friends!
Birth doulas serve an incredibly fulfilling role during pregnancy by assisting clients with physical, emotional, and mental support through a life-changing time through the prenatal period, labor and delivery, and postnatally. The birth support program is one of the signature programs for the Baltimore Doula Project.
Through the end of this summer, BDP has:
Supported 11 births that resulted in 11 happy and health babies
Paid doulas $9,700 to support those births by providing funds to pregnant people who otherwise would be unable to access doula services
Provided postpartum support to three additional clients
Our fall has been even busier, with nine births supported from September through the end of this year with nine already slotted for the beginning of 2024!
