The methods of support provided during the third stage of labor are many. How the third stage progresses will determine the type of support appropriate for each client.
Assistance with bonding, the initiation of breastfeeding, and supporting a client through a perineal tear are all ways in which a client may need the support of their doula. It is also essential for the doula to be aware of complications that may arise during the third stage to best help a client experiencing one.
Complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, placenta accreta, or the need for other post-birth interventions may arise without warning. Knowing how to support the client and their partner or other support person is integral to the doula's role.
Join us as we explore the many ways to support clients through the third stage of labor.
