Have you ever wondered why some intended parents choose to hire a doula for their surrogacy journey, even though they are not the ones giving birth?
Doulas, while not required for intended parents, can be an amazing support during the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Aside from the hormones that come with pregnancy, being a new parent can be hard! Having an additional person to help through these transitional phases of your life as a new parent can make a world of difference for you and your family.
