The tasks of a doula creates a protected area from pregnancy to childbirth and postpartum.

She provides room for father and mother and fills a possible gap.

She offers emotional and physical support.

She is present even when the delivery takes longer or is more energy-sapping than expected.

She mediates in cases of vagueness, misunderstandings and questions.

She encourages expecting parents to speak up for their own wishes and requests and thereby to stay open-minded for the unexpected turns that life sometimes takes.

• two prenatal meetings
• around the expected birth date, four weeks of 24 hours stand-by duty

Customized, need-based companionships are of course possible as well.
