Health Net offers you a choice of customized pregnancy programs that include:

What is a Doula?

A Doula is someone trained to provide extra support throughout your pregnancy, labor, delivery and after childbirth. They can also share non-medical information about pregnancy and the birthing process such as:

  • Health education
  • Guidance
  • How to prepare for childbirth

Doulas are also available after birth to help with:

  • Emotional and physical recovery
  • Breastfeeding techniques
  • New baby care
  • Complete wellness healing from a miscarriage, still birth or abortion

The choice is yours

We offer Individual Doula Services or Virtual Doula & Support Services from Mahmee to choose from. This gives you the freedom to think about your options and make the best program choice to fit your lifestyle.

Important: You may either choose an individual Doula or use Virtual Doula & Wrap-around Services by Mahmee, but not both.
