Welcome to Big Fat Birth Services
Big Fat Birth Services is a birth doula service based in Durham, North Carolina and caring for the surrounding communities. We provide compassionate physical, emotional, and informational support to parents through the prenatal period and labor. We believe that we birth best when we feel safe and supported. Every person’s relationship to birth is different, and so the best care looks different. There is no right way to give birth, only right for you.
We look forward to providing you and your growing family with warm, conscientious care.
Our Values
Reproductive Justice
We believe in centering the experiences of birthing people of color. We are committed to continually working toward anti-racism, both individually and collectively.
LGBTQ Affirmation
We acknowledge and support the specific joys and struggles of being a gay and/or transgender parent. We know that strength is often found in our own community and shared experience.
Fat Liberation & Body Positivity
We ground our work in the firm belief that all bodies are deserving of high-quality doula care. We firmly believe that fat people are capable of normal, healthy pregnancies, and that people experiencing complicated pregnancies are deserving of love and care.
