With the shifting dynamics of modern families, it's not uncommon for individuals to relocate away from their hometowns, driven by career opportunities, marriage, or other life plans. Unfortunately, this can often result in a lack of family support especially when it comes to caring for older children during the time of a hospital or birth center birth. Support is also available should you be choosing a homebirth. Sometimes, grandparents may no longer be physically capable of looking after the little ones independently, while the personal obligations and responsibilities of other family and friends can make it challenging to rely on them completely when the crucial moment of labor arrives.
Although certain birthing environments may permit the presence of children, many parents find themselves in a conundrum, torn between tending to their older children's needs and immersing themselves fully in the extraordinary journey of bringing a newborn into the world. Additionally, some children may feel uneasy or unsettled in close proximity to the birthing experience, further diverting the attention of parents from the vital task before them. Fortunately, a ray of hope emerges for these families—enter the wonderful and invaluable presence of a Sibling Doula!
