| "I'm thinking of hiring a labour supporter
(doula), but why should I choose ParentLink?" Top Ten reasons to choose
a ParentLink doula! |
When it comes to hiring a
labour supporter (doula), the most
important thing is that you feel comfortable with the doula you choose.
This is an incredibly special time in your life, and you should feel a
rapport with anyone you choose to share that experience.
Top 10 Reasons to Choose a ParentLink Doula
|
-
The most experienced professionally
trained doulas in Singapore; we have specialized certification
in doula skills because doula work is a unique profession (separate
from midwifery! Read "is a doula a midwife?").
-
This is your birth, your way;
you get total support
for your choices, whatever they are, and
you don't feel pressured to follow anyone elses
agenda.
-
The
biggest team of doulas in Singapore, which means doulas
are available year-round, and each doula
always has back-up; having a large team also means
you have a wide pool of support.
-
Support for partners as well as women: you
are both becoming parents,
birth isn't just "a woman having
a baby" so your classes and support are geared
for both of you.
-
Warm working relationships
with the staff in local hospitals; during
your birth you'll feel those around you are pulling together as a
team.
-
Experience as expatriates settling in a new country;
if you're an expat, you may love your second home
in Singapore, yet feel far from your
"other" home at a special time such as the birth of
your child. We know
what that's like!
-
Deep
roots in Singapore: if you're a local, you
will appreciate the ease of support from long-time residents who are
familiar with traditional customs, newer multicultural
practices, and everything in between.
-
The
longest track-record; ParentLink was
the first organization in Asia to offer parents
professional doula support, since 1997.
-
A
trail-blazing history bringing you new choices:
through ParentLink's work you now have access to
the first labour pool in a private Singapore hospital, you enjoy the
benefits of clear hospital policies accommodating doula care, and at
one hospital in Singapore you'll be charged less
if you're accompanied by a doula!
-
The
recommendation of hundreds of families we've accompanied as they
brought their babies into the world. (Many of
those families showed their confidence by asking us back for the
births of those babies' younger brothers and sisters!)
