Doula Support

Doulas provide three kinds of services: prenatal visits, attendance at labor and delivery, and postpartum visits. The perinatal visits are often in the birthing parent’s home. In these visits, the doula and birthing parent discuss such topics as:

  • Anatomy of labor and birth,
  • Common medical birth procedures,
  • Common comfort measures during labor and birth,
  • Mental wellness and self-care,
  • Communication skills and self-advocacy during labor and delivery,
  • Breastfeeding benefits and techniques,
  • Community resources, and
  • Postpartum support for the birthing parent and baby.

Doulas also attend labor and delivery to provide emotional and physical support.

Members to request Doula Services, please call MPC Customer Service at 800-953-8854 and ask for a referral to be sent to the MPC’s special needs coordinator. Providers, please send a referral to:
