Having a Baby?

Every woman wants the best possible experience as she looks forward to labor and birth. While no one can predict what each labor will bring, having a doula present can optimize your experience in many ways and help your birth to be a treasured memory.

The Birth Companion Network provides a free referral service in the Eugene and Springfield, Oregon area helping connect families with a doula. Members share the common commitment to serving women and their families in the transformative time that surrounds childbirth.
