Support for Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond in Monroeville, PA
We’re Marlee & Megan Malone-Franklin, a wife-and-wife doula team since 2014.
Our support for Pittsburgh-area families includes birth doula services, postpartum support, lactation consults, birthing classes, and gentle sleep consulting for infants and toddlers.
We attend births at home, The Midwife Center, and local area hospitals. We especially love helping families navigate the hospital environment during birth. (Over 90% of our doula clients plan hospital births.)
We serve clients birthing at:
“Megan and Marlee’s birth services were absolutely invaluable. Before the birth I often wondered if doulas were even necessary - what if I ended up having a cesarean? Well, I did end up with a c-section, and I still wouldn’t have had it any other way! They made me feel stronger and happier while giving birth.”
— Vanessa
Are you looking for:
a knowledgeable guide to support you through labor and birth?
meaningful classes to help you prepare for birth and beyond?
practical and emotional support as you settle into life with your new little one?
We're here for you.
We honor your journey into parenthood as a rite of passage, not just a medical event.
We have been offering childbirth education, labor support, and help for families welcoming a new baby since 2014, and we LOVE what we do!
We strive to provide nonjudgmental, compassionate support to everyone we work with. It’s important to us to offer a safer space for folks to experience and express the full range of emotions this time of life can bring.
