Nurturing Babyhood N’ Beyond is a Cambridge doula and family support business helping women and birthing people plan the safest, most positive birth experience possible, guided by the motto “your birth, your plan.” A professionally trained birth and postpartum doula offers support through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period, along with evidence-based information on maternal and infant health, informed decision-making and building a birth plan.

The practice supports a wide range of birth preferences and circumstances, including IVF pregnancies, twins, unmedicated vaginal births, epidurals, planned inductions, cesarean and planned cesarean births, and vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Its larger goal is addressing the nation’s maternal health crisis by making sure all families go into pregnancy prepared, empowered and informed.
