Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are incredible journeys, but they can also be overwhelming at times. Having the right support can make all the difference – using a doula during and after your pregnancy is a great option for additional support. 

What is A Doula? 

A doula is a certified and trained care or support professional who bridges the gap between medical care and emotional support. They are not trained to provide direct medical care, like a doctor, nurse or midwife – but they are trained to support you physically and emotionally during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. A doula can help you create a birth plan, advocate for you to your medical team during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, and be a source of comfort and guidance. They can help you with parental education, postpartum education, newborn care and more. 

Connecting NJ’s upcoming "Interview with a Doula," is an exclusive opportunity to learn more about the invaluable role of a doula and how they can support you during this transformative time.  

In this session, we’ll be joined by Doula Jodi Simmons from TruDoulas NJ, who will share insights into her work and answer your questions. Whether you’re a new or expecting parent, this is your chance to explore how a doula can empower and guide you through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond.
