If you are expecting a baby, the idea of partnering with a professional trained in childbirth that will  provide emotional, physical, and educational support could be very appealing. That's where a Doula comes in. A  doula's purpose is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. can help make the birth and postpartum experience better. Doulas fill a major gap in our maternal healthcare system by providing continuous one-on-one support to a mother throughout her labor and birth. Studies show that having a professional doula attend your birth lowers the risks of interventions and unplanned cesareans, while raising the chances of having a positive experience and overall satisfaction with your birth. TDS is not just for women seeking all natural labors or home births, we support every mother’s wishes and birth plan.  They even support moms through planned cesarean births.

Trinity Doula Services is  just one of several doula agencies operating in southern Illinois
