Zuzana Dubová
DOULA

Support during pregnancy, birth and postpartum

About me

My name is Zuzana and I was born in Prague in 1978. I am married and I have 3 kids (1 boy and 2 girls). I offer prenatal and postnatal classes/meetings and support during labour and delivery. I support women during their pregnancies and labours in different Prague hospitals as well as in hospitals outside of Prague in Central Bohemia. I have supported more than 150 women/couples in the delivery rooms and many others during their pregnancy and postpartum period. I will be happy to support you as well.

 

I am happy to offer support to English speaking parents, I find it very interesting and enriching. I have experience with clients from many different European countries as well as the USA, Canada, Australia, Russia, Mexico, South Africa, Brasil, Iran, Turkey, Israel, India and China.


I find that it is quite stressful for foreigners living here in the Czech Republic to understand the Czech health system and to manage the delivery in the hospital without any English/Czech speaking support. I am very open to helping expecting parents from different countries in this exciting and in the same time difficult situation, especially if they don´t know the Czech language and have no family support. It is a pleasure for me to learn about other cultures while getting to know people from all over the world. I love hearing the different mother tongues when the babies are born and the parents speak their language (which I often don´t understand) or when the happy parents are calling their relatives around the world.

​

I offer mental, physical and emotional support during the whole pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. I also do breastfeeding consulting and answer questions regarding health insurance, social security and residence. 

Services I Offer

Pregnant Belly

Individual prenatal classes

I offer prenatal classes with personalized support for expectant parents. We will cover key topics like paperwork, list of things needed in the hospital, the signs of labour and the stages of labour, pain relief methods, birth plan, postpartum period, breastfeeding and newborn care.

Expecting Couple

Support during labour
and delivery

I will be on call for you 24/7 for one month around your due date and will be ready to support you and your partner during labour and delivery. I offer emotional reassurance, explanation of what is happening during the labour process and help with the language barrier.

Nursing Newborn

Postpartum care + breastfeeding consultations

Postpartum care is essential for your recovery and adjustment to life with your baby. I provide breastfeeding consultations, answer your newborn questions and help you enjoy a smoother journey. Together, these services empower you to care for yourself while nurturing your little one.

Hiring Zuzana was one of the smartest decisions we made as a first time mother in a foreign country in which English is not the official language. She is fluent in English language and very proactive in staying in contact to ensure everything was moving smoothly while i was pregnant. She was available to answer all our questions and put all my fears at ease with the wealth of knowledge that she has about the delivery process in Czech Republic, the delivery process and newborn care.

​

During the delivery, she helped bridge the communication barrier and advocated for my birthplan to be followed. She also acted as a cheerleader in the delivery room helping me with the strength to get through each contraction by giving me massages and encouraging words. She is very reliable and answered all the questions we had very promptly and was also a great help even after the birth with ensuring we got the birth certificate.

​

I highly recommend her and will for sure be honored to use her services again.​
