Mother's Advocate Doula Services
Mary E. Smits, CD (CBI)
“My doula helped me out tremendously.
She increased my confidence through my pregnancy and informed me about everything.
Then she really helped me cope with labor and made me believe I could do it. I don’t believe I
could have gotten through it without her. She was honest and straightforward and it seemed as
if she always knew what was best at the time. Even after she was with me throughout a very long
and hard labor, she stayed and helped me get used to being a mom. It’s a big change with a new
baby and I was so glad that she continued to visit me after the birth. I got to learn a lot from her.
Now my baby means more than the world to me.” - Cynthia, 16 years old

Like you, I was also a teen mother. The picture on my teen logo is me at age 17 with my first baby. I have learned
much since then, raising my children and studying birth. Now that I have completed doula certification training, and
assisted multiple births, I feel I have much to offer teen mothers who are just now experiencing what I did years ago.
If you are alone on this road to parenthood, you may be scared and in need of reassurance, or you may be strong, ready to take
on the role with confidence. You may be looking for guidance in how to achieve the best birth possible for you, or simply looking
for someone to be by your side to keep you company and comfort you.
A doula meets these needs and more. Visit all of my website pages for more information on my complete doula services.
Please, if you are in need of support, do not hesitate to call on me. While my services are not completely free, as a teen
mother, you are eligible for substantial discounts.

I deem every woman's birth experience invaluable; therefore I feel services should be obtainable by all

available to lower income families based on a sliding scale.
