It is helpful to note your postpartum doula does not include diagnosis or personal help with medical concerns. Doulas will not act like or attempt to replace your primary care provider. When circumstances are beyond a postpartum doula’s scope of practice, though, you can be comforted to know that your doula is a great resource for helping you find professional care for you or your baby. A doula is familiar with skilled mental and/or physical health care professionals, community organizations, and/or other support professionals near you. It’s important that you and/or your baby get any additional support you need to ensure you're in good hands and good health overall.
