 I am Peggy Caister, a DONA certified birth doula providing labor and birth support in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Centrally located in Newport News, I have experience in many hospitals, and have provided birth support for home births and hospital births-- both military and civilian. I serve Hampton Roads: from Norfolk to Williamsburg, from Suffolk to Poquoson- I am available for labor support.
- understand and am comfortable with birth and a woman's emotional needs
- assist in birth preparation for mom and her partner
- offer birth support by helping families make informed choices
- stay by mom's side for support throughout labor
- offer physical comfort measures, emotional support, objectivity, and assistance helping moms and dads understand the process
- offer unconditional birth support. Whether mom chooses a natural childbirth, cesarean delivery, a birth at home, or a medicated delivery, I support and assist families to make this birth the best possible experience
- facilitate communication between mom, her partner, and clinical care providers.
- mother the mother.
My philosophy The power to birth is in every woman, and that the way
each woman births will be unique to her and her situation. I hope to
make options as transparent and understandable as possible to the
Hampton Roads birthing couple. My goal is positive birth experience for mom and her partner, in whatever form that takes for them. This is a
day they will remember forever, and I hope they remember it fondly.
