Birth & Doula Care

Birth doula support with Ginny Phang-Davey

From your first prenatal visit to your final postnatal check-in, Ginny walks this journey with you — as one person who knows your story, your wishes, and your family.

Birth is not a transaction. It unfolds. What you need in those moments is not information — it is presence, and it is experience. Someone who knows you. Someone who has been in that room over a thousand times.

You don't need someone to manage your birth. You need someone who trusts your body — and knows how to support it.

What's Included

Every birth doula package is built around three phases of support: the weeks before, the day itself, and the early days after. The depth of each phase is tailored to your birth type and circumstances — discussed and agreed at your consultation.

Before

Prenatal Sessions

Your prenatal sessions are not generic childbirth education — they are personalised planning sessions, built around you. We work through your pregnancy routine, your birth preferences, and what you want to know going into labour.

Birth plan development — what you want, how to communicate it, and how to navigate decisions if things change
Labour and birth preparation, including positioning strategies, comfort measures, and partner support techniques
Early postpartum planning — breastfeeding, recovery, and the first days home
Homebirth logistics and birth space preparation, where applicable

Note for first-time parents: Prenatal sessions are designed for personalised planning, not foundational childbirth education. Attendance at a Four Trimesters antenatal class (group, online, or private) is required before prenatal sessions begin.

During

Birth Support

On-call support begins three weeks before your estimated due date and continues for two weeks after. When labour begins, Ginny joins you — ideally at home first, before any hospital transfer — and stays with you through active labour and into the early postpartum hours.

In early or prodromal labour, Ginny may attend in person or provide remote support to help assess patterns, offer comfort measures, and guide timing — so your energy is preserved for when it matters most
In long labours, a rest-and-rotation approach ensures you receive consistent, alert, high-quality support throughout
Continuous doula coverage is guaranteed — though not necessarily the same individual at every moment
If a backup doula is ever needed due to overlapping births, illness, or travel commitments, this is discussed with you before you engage services

Continuous coverage. One plan. One person who knows you — and a team that has your back.

After

Postnatal Visits

Three postnatal visits are included, typically scheduled at the moments that matter most in early postpartum.

Visit 124–48 hours postpartum
Visit 2Days 3–5, around the time milk production increases
Visit 3End of the first or second postpartum week — or used as a birth debrief or moved to any point within eight weeks postpartum

Additional postnatal visits are available at your request. For families who want more intensive early postpartum support, 24/7 on-call postnatal support is also available as a chargeable add-on — discuss this during your consultation.

Birth Types Supported

Ginny supports a full range of birth settings and circumstances, and is registered to support births across Singapore's private hospitals and at home.

What Doula Support Is Not

To ensure clarity from the start — so you can plan your full support needs with confidence.

Household help, cooking, or running errands
Overnight or live-in postnatal care
A replacement for your obstetrician, midwife, or paediatrician
Clinical tasks, medical advice, or decision-making on your behalf

If you're looking for overnight postnatal help or household support, Ginny can point you toward the right resources.

When to Get in Touch

As soon as possible — ideally by late first trimester or early second trimester. The earlier you connect, the more time there is to prepare well together, and for Ginny to disclose any known travel or teaching commitments before you commit.

For home births, VBACs, or more complex circumstances, early engagement is especially important
For first-time parents, the journey begins with an antenatal class to build your foundation — doula support follows from there
