Thankfully, Vanessa shared that she’s had her doula with her every step of the way.
In another post about her doula Mama Oracle, she wrote, “Maybe it’s the teacher in me, but I enjoy making checklists and being as prepared as I can be for mostly everything lol. Pregnancy is no exception. I made a checklist early on and finding a doula was a priority.”
Vanessa went on, saying, “If you’re like me and like having questions answered promptly without feeling judged or having to wait a month until you see your doctor, having the support of a Doula is SO reassuring. @mamaoracle has made my pregnancy journey thus far so enjoyable and stress-free knowing I have the support I need, when I need it.”
She also shared a list of what doulas provide for pregnant mamas.
The Bachelor Nation star wrote that doulas are there to give “emotional and mental support during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum. Information on pregnancy, how births happen, and how to take care of yourself in postpartum. Information on techniques that will help you like breathing exercices, massage, etc. @mamaoracle does reiki regularly to help reduce labor pains, stress and anxiety around pregnancy, heartburns and pregnancy insomnia. During the birth, Doulas stay with you at the hospital for support as well.”
