Certified Birth Doula serving Wenatchee Valley
in birth and postpartum
Welcome! Odds are if you’re searching for a Doula you are expecting one of the most beautiful gifts life can give; a baby! Though the idea of bringing a new family member into the home can be exciting, it can also be intimidating and overwhelming for many families. Many women are turning to hiring a Doula to serve them in their labor and birth stories, and are finding it helpful to add a Member to their team as they welcome a new baby.
My name is Anna Dunagan, I am a Certified Birth Doula through Childbirth International and currently pursuing certification as a Bereavement Doula through the Stillbirth Academy. I have been a a Doula for about 4 years and have attended 30 births. I love all things birth and find joy in serving women and families in their Journey to motherhood.. Keep reading to see how I can come alongside you in the story of your labor and birth.
Prenatal
Available via phone and text during business hours your entire pregnancy
Two prenatal appointments (1-2 hours each) to get to know each other and to go over and review your labor and birth options, preferences, and preferred comfort measures, and/or postpartum support needs.
The first meeting is a mini childbirth education course, and the second meeting we practice comfort measures and I get to show you what a bring with me in my Doula Bag. If meeting for postpartum support, we typically go over home needs, expectations, first couple weeks postpartum, and what I can do to help those first few weeks.

I will collaborate with you on planning your labor, birth, and first few weeks with baby. You (and your partner) will assume much of the responsibility to document and execute your plans.
During our Mini Childbirth Course we will talk about:
Pregnancy anatomy

Fears During Birth
Stages of Labor
Common Medical Interventions
Immediate Postpartum
Many of the skills and techniques are doable for your partner as well, so having any other team member for your birth is important. I spend time teaching the skill or position, and then give time to you to practice it.

AVAILIBILTY FOR SUPPORT
Available through phone call and text throughout pregnancy and two weeks postpartum to answer questions or address any concerns you may have.
Beginning at 38 weeks I will be on-call for labor until you give birth. Depending on needs, that means I can meet you at your home for at-home labor support as well.
Postpartum support typically is scheduled once baby arrives and you are home from hospital, usually scheduled within the first 2 days home, depending on needs of family.
LABOR, BIRTH & POSTPARTUM SUPPORT
I will meet you at your home or chosen birth place within 60 minutes of your call. I will remain with you and provide consistent support for the duration of your labor until you and baby have settled, usually around 1-2 hours postpartum.
I provide 1 postpartum follow-up visit for Birth Doula clients in your home within the first week.
I also provide postpartum support for families who need the extra hands as they bring the new member of the family home. Contact me for rates.
