Want to make a real difference for a family in your community?

Donate to our Community Doula Fund.
Research shows that doula support leads to better birth outcomes, lower C-section rates, and reduced postpartum depression.
But for too many families, cost is the barrier that makes it inaccessible.

Your donation changes that.

It goes directly toward funding doula care for a family in the Triangle who needs it and can't afford it. No overhead fluff. Just support, delivered to the people who need it most.

Donate today!

June is here and so is Pride. 🌈

At Carolina Birth and Wellness, we want to be clear: LGBTQ+ families are not just welcome here, they are celebrated here!

Every family structure and road to conception deserves care that meets you exactly where you are.

That's what we're committed to. Not just this month, always.

Meet the Doula: Jaclyn Haven

Jaclyn (she/her) is a birth doula and epidemiologist who blends evidence based care with movement and embodiment practices. As the daughter of a massage therapist, she grew up witnessing the power of supportive touch to nurture physical and mental wellbeing.

She entered the maternal health world in 2019 as On-Ground Director for Casa Materna, a birthing center in rural Guatemala, where she supported collaboration between Indigenous Mayan midwives and U.S. medical teams—an experience that shaped her respect for both traditional and western-based approaches to care. As a doula, Jaclyn uses her epidemiology background to help clients interpret research, demystify the oceans of information, and participate in confident, values-aligned decision-making with their providers.

She supports clients of all backgrounds and specializes in serving LGBTQ+ and Spanish-speaking families. Jaclyn is passionate about the role of strong community in thriving through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood, and she enjoys connecting clients with resources and supportive networks. She and her husband chose their last name “Haven” when they got married to reflect their commitment to creating
a safe, welcoming hub for their
community.

The Havens live in Durham with their cat, Apolla. In her free time, Jaclyn enjoys dance, yoga, audiobooks, and tending her flower and herb garden.

Did you know you can hire a doula for a C-section?

A C-section is major abdominal surgery and you deserve just as much support in that OR as anyone in a labor room.

Your doula can help you:
✨ Prepare mentally and emotionally beforehand
✨ Advocate for a gentle cesarean experience
✨ Create a birth plan tailored to the OR
✨ Support your partner through the experience
✨ Be present the moment you meet your baby

No matter how your baby arrives, your birth experience matters. You deserve support.

Let's talk about your pelvic floor. 💪

Whether you're currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or years out from birth, your pelvic floor deserves care and attention!

Leaking, pelvic pain, discomfort during s*x, and core weakness are common after pregnancy and birth.

But *common* doesn't mean you just have to accept it.

Swipe to learn what your pelvic floor actually does, how pregnancy and birth impact it, and what signs mean it's time to get support.

✨ We work with Dr. Sarah Ecker, PT, DPT, PRPC, owner of Pride Health and Wellness ()! Inquire with her today via our website! ✨

May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month💜

Preeclampsia affects 1 in 25 pregnancies and is a leading cause of maternal mortality, yet many people don't know the signs until it's too late.

It can develop suddenly, even in low-risk pregnancies, and can appear postpartum too.

Know the symptoms:
💜 Sudden swelling in your face, hands, or feet
💜 Severe or persistent headaches
💜 Vision changes: blurriness, light sensitivity, seeing spots
💜 Upper abdominal pain, especially under the right ribs
💜 Shortness of breath or sudden weight gain

If something feels off, trust yourself!
Call your provider.
Go to L&D.
You are never overreacting when it comes to your safety.

Black and brown birthing people are at significantly higher risk for preeclampsia and are more likely to have their symptoms dismissed. This is why advocacy matters and why having a doula in your corner can be lifesaving. We know your concerns and will help to make sure that you are heard. 💚
