Planning Doula Support at
UM Capital Region Medical Center
Know what to ask.

UM Capital Region Health identifies UM Capital Region Medical Center in Largo as the location for its labor and delivery services. Its childbirth page describes care from certified nurse midwives, labor-and-delivery nurses, obstetric hospitalists, neonatologists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.

A doula’s role is nonmedical support alongside the licensed clinical team. Tenise’s availability, credentials, and admission under a specific hospital policy must be confirmed before booking. A helpful conversation covers what matters to you, what support you want from a doula and from your family, and how you would like questions handled when plans change.

Questions for your provider
and the hospital.

Ask your care provider whether their practice delivers at UM Capital Region Medical Center and what registration steps you should complete. Call the maternity unit to confirm its current rules for doulas and support people, including requirements for credentials, arrival, and a possible C-section. Ask which team member can answer medical questions about your specific care.

Questions for a doula consultation.

• Do you serve this city and attend the birth setting I am considering?
• What support do you provide before labor, during labor, and after birth?
• What are your credentials, backup arrangements, fees, and availability?
• How will you work alongside my partner or support people and my clinical team?
• What happens if my plans change or the hospital’s rules affect your role?
