During Labor & Delivery our doula's presence was exactly what my husband and I needed to get through an attempted natural delivery. She was always one step ahead and ready with a plan. Her support is what made my birthing experience wonderful with no regrets. I will always look back on my first childs birth with no regrets and so proud that I had her there to support me and my husband to keep us calm. When we are ready for baby number two I will definitely have Baton Rouge Birth Services to be by our side again.

I Am Just a Mother

Jul 10, 2016 Parenting baton rouge, baton rouge birth services Lauren Standridge Comment

I want to hold the hands of the African-American community and Baton Rouge residents and tell them it will be okay. I want them to know I acknowledge their pain and their hope for peace. I want them to know that I support them because that is what you do for people in need. Even if you don’t know them or you cannot relate to their experiences that are not yours.

What is BR Birth Services Doing to Improve Birth in Baton Rouge?

You will not see us involved in Improving Birth rallies and other events people associate with trying to improve birth for women, but why? Because, while we believe advocacy definitely has its place, we do not feel it is a doulas job to be an advocate.
