Doulas in New Mexico

Hiring a doula in New Mexico

A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.

Doulas are not medical professionals, but they are an invaluable asset to have on your birth team. They are there to provide support and guidance, answer any questions you may have, and help you advocate for yourself and your baby.

There are many things a doula can help with, but here are some of the most common:

1. Creating a birth plan: A doula can help you figure out what you want and need for your birth, and then help you communicate those wishes to your care provider.

2. Staying calm and relaxed: Childbirth is an intense experience, both physically and emotionally. A doula can help you stay focused and calm during labor, which can help you manage the pain and make better decisions.

3. Pain management: A doula can provide counter-pressure during contractions, help you find comfortable positions, and offer massage and other relaxation techniques.

4. Breastfeeding support: A doula can help you get started with breastfeeding, and provide guidance and support if you run into any difficulties.

5. Postpartum support: A doula can help you recover physically and emotionally after childbirth, and adjust to life with a new baby. They can also provide guidance on newborn care and breastfeeding.

My interests in Curanderismo (traditional Mexican folk healing), reproductive justice, and creating sex-positive/intersectional/inclusive spaces all play a part in what I bring to a birth experience.

Experience:

I am Megan Othling, a birth doula serving Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. I am certified through Childbirth International, and have received a rebozo certification. I have always been fascinated by pregnancy and birth, but really fell in love with it after having my own four children. I offer women the information and support to be able to make their own informed choices regarding their pregnancies and births. I want to provide the tools for them to take the wheel in their own maternity care.

I am passionate about supporting women and their partners as they find their strength and nurture the wisdom they will need to face the challenges of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood. I provide physical and emotional support for women and their partners throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth, and my desire is to foster a deeper connection between partners when a partner is involved. I will also passionately support single mothers. I attend births in hospitals, birth centers, or homes.

Services Offered:
I provide private and semi-private childbirth education, as well as prenatal doula care and birth doula care. Clients can choose between my full package, which includes prenatal and birth support, with postpartum visits, or my prenatal and postpartum support package, which includes everything except birth support.
