Welcome! I am Katie Nyberg, The Iowa Baby Lady. (Or as one new dad said, “Katie the Baby Lady!”) Since 2010, I have been honored to support families as a birth and postpartum doula. Today, our Iowa Baby Ladies team provides trusted doula care, childbirth education, lactation support, and in home postpartum services for families in Des Moines, Ames, and across Iowa. Whether you are preparing for labor, welcoming a new baby, or seeking steady guidance in early parenthood, we are here to support your family with experience, compassion, and professionalism.
Whether you’re looking for birth doula support or in-home, postpartum doula support, we are here to assist you in your journey to motherhood. Our doulas have supported hundreds of mothers, fathers, partners, spouses, siblings, and newborns through educational classes, events, and doula services.
Research shows that mothers who are professionally supported through birth and the first weeks postpartum are more likely to have less procedures and medications during birth, better start to breastfeeding, have more confidence in parenting, less postpartum mood/anxiety disorders, bond quicker with baby, and are overall happier. We would love to share more about how our support might be a good fit for your family!
Who are the families that our doulas work with?
ANY expecting or new parent!
