Finding out you are pregnant is life changing news. Amazing, exciting… and kind of scary. I remember when I was pregnant with my first desperately googling and researching, wanting to make sure I was doing everything right for my baby.
One thing I decided to do? Hire a doula! I knew I wanted a more natural and holistic approach to birth, which led me down the rabbit hole of why doulas are so wonderful. Here in Minneapolis, we are lucky to have so many amazing doulas!
One of the greatest gifts a doula offers is unwavering emotional support. From the moment a pregnancy is confirmed until well after the baby is born, doulas provide a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and a constant source of encouragement. In a journey marked by both joy and uncertainty, having a compassionate presence by your side can make all the difference.
Information and Education: Doulas are like walking encyclopedias of pregnancy and childbirth knowledge. They provide expecting parents with evidence-based information, empowering them to make informed decisions about their birth preferences. Whether it’s understanding different birthing options, pain management techniques, or navigating the complexities of the healthcare system, doulas are there every step of the way.
To make things a bit easier for Twin Cities moms, I decided to put together a list of the top recommended Minneapolis doulas in the area. These are the ones that are referred over and over again- online and in person.
Take this list, check out their websites and social media to get to know them, and setup a consultation

Often times partners may wonder if the birthing person really needs another support person. And almost always, after the birth, the partner is the most grateful, shouting from the rooftops about their positive experience.
