This set of two PDF documents helps doulas illustrate the support that a doula may provide during this stage of labor– just before baby is born.

Maybe you’re running low on colored ink? The coloring page version of this handout provides all the same information as the color version without putting as much strain on printer resources. Bring a box of crayons and use the coloring page version of the handout to let Mama’s little helpers participate in the conversation.

These documents may be printed from your personal computer or sent to a copy shop for your own personal use as a doula.

Disclaimer: The care provider makes the final decision in what action steps are to be taken during this stage of labor. The diagram featured in this handout illustrates when a doula can give appropriate supportive care.
