While you are in labor, a sibling doula is with your older child keeping them comfortable, engaged, and emotionally supported or being present at the birth if that's part of your plan.

This is an opportunity for your older child or children to meet their sibling doula and get to know each other before the big day.
The biggest part of being a sibling doula is being on-call 24/7 for whenever labor begins. Your doula is available by phone or text starting around week 38.
Dedicated, loving care for your child or children while you labor, either at home or at the hospital, so your birth support team can focus entirely on you.
If your family has chosen to have older children present at the birth, your sibling doula prepares them in advance and supports them throughout.
