Hi, I’m Ana Buzolin
Founder of Push It Baby
Bilingual Doula & Birth Support
in Wake County, North Carolina
You deserve to feel safe, heard, and powerful during one of the most vulnerable moments of your life
My role is to help you feel informed, respected, and emotionally supported every step of the way. With calm presence and evidence based guidance, I walk beside you, so you can trust your body and make decisions with confidence.
Birth Can Feel Uncertain. You Don’t Have to Face It Alone.
O nascimento é poderoso.
É profundamente pessoal.
E, ao mesmo tempo, pode despertar medos e inseguranças.
Questions appear. Decisions feel important.
Many mothers wonder if they will truly feel heard, supported, and understood during their birth experience.
If these thoughts have crossed your mind, you are not alone.
Many mothers reach out not because something is wrong, but because they want to feel
prepared, respected, and emotionally safe.
Without a Doula Support
- Decisions can feel rushed
- Medical language can feel confusing
- Pain can feel overwhelming
- Partners may feel unsure how to help
- You may wonder if your voice is truly heard
Birth can begin to feel uncertain, overwhelming, and out of your hands.
With a Continuous Doula Support
- You understand your options before decisions feel urgent
- You receive calm explanations and emotional reassurance
- You learn comfort techniques that help your body work with labor
- Your partner receives guidance on how to support you
- Communication with your care team becomes clearer
You move through birth feeling informed, supported, and steady.
How the Experience Feels Like

- Your partner receives guidance on how to support you
- Communication with your care team becomes clearer
Birth becomes a moment you live with confidence, support, and emotional safety.
Support is not about taking control.
It is about helping you feel safe, informed, and steady in every moment.
Congratulations!
Whether you’re expecting or have just welcomed your baby, it’s completely natural to have questions, emotions, and a desire to feel steady and supported.
In this short video, I share how I walk alongside with you and families through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Helping you understand your options, prepare for decisions, and feel calm and confident along the way.
If you are looking for preparation, clarity, and a calm presence during this season of your life, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
Let’s talk about your birth plan.
core values
Care that honors your body, your voice, and your choices
Every family is unique.
My support is grounded in full availability, respect, presence, and informed care, so you can feel supported, confident, and in control of your choices
Personalized
Care
I take time to truly understand you. Your values, your concerns, and your hopes for birth all matter here. I provide clear, up-to-date information and thoughtful preparation so you can explore your options without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
My support is tailored to your unique journey, helping you feel confident, seen, and supported every step of the way.
Evidence-Based Guidance
I offer more than reassurance. I provide clear, science-based information so you can understand your options with confidence. Research shows that continuous doula support is associated with lower intervention rates and greater birth satisfaction.
My role is to help you feel informed, grounded, and empowered so every decision reflects your values and your voice.
Continuous Emotional Support
You deserve steady presence, not just information. I remain available before, during, and after birth, offering calm reassurance and compassionate listening when emotions feel intense or uncertain.
Continuous support helps you feel safer, more regulated, and more confident throughout labor and recovery.
Woman-Centered Approach
You are not a protocol. You are a whole person with instincts, intuition, and a voice that deserves to be heard. I support informed consent, respectful communication, and aligned decision-making.
Every choice is yours. My role is to stand beside you so you feel respected, confident, and fully in control of your birth experience.
If this approach is what you are looking for, I would be honored to support you.
What Does a Doula Really Do?
It is basically a birth coach that provides all the guidance to the most satisfying experience possible.
Pregnancy and birth come with many decisions, emotions, and moments that can feel overwhelming.
A doula’s role is not to replace medical care, but walk with you alongside, helping you feel informed, respected, and emotionally supported throughout your journey.
My approach is grounded in calm presence, evidence-based information, and deep respect for your autonomy.

What a Doula Provides
Support that centers at you
Continuous presence
before, during, and after birth
Someone focused entirely on you, not rotating shifts or clinical protocols.
Clear, evidence-based information
Support understanding your options so you can make decisions with confidence.
Emotional grounding
Calm reassurance, listening, and encouragement when things feel intense or uncertain.
Physical comfort measures
Positioning guidance, breathing support, and comfort techniques tailored to your body.
What a Doula Is Not
Clarity brings confidence
I do not make decisions for you
I do not replace your medical provider
I do not push a specific type of birth
I do not speak over you — I help you find your voice
My role is to walk beside you, not direct your path.
You remain in control, always.
Every birth is different. Every family is unique.
Whether your journey includes a hospital birth, medication, interventions, or unexpected changes, my support remains steady, respectful, and focused on your well-being.
You deserve to feel heard, supported, and safe in every scenario.
What It Means to Feel Supported in Birth
Every pregnancy is different.
Support should feel personal, steady, and truly helpful for you and your family.
Whether this is your first baby or your tenth, pregnancy and birth bring new emotions, decisions, and moments where having the right support can make all the difference.
When You Want to Feel Confident
New symptoms, new emotions, new questions. I help you slow down, understand your options, and make decisions with confidence so you feel steady and supported from pregnancy to postpartum.
When Language and Culture Matter
Communication changes everything. I support families in English and Portuguese, helping you feel understood, emotionally safe, and confident expressing your needs within the healthcare system.
When You Want Calm During Labor
Whether at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital, labor can feel intense and unpredictable. I help you stay grounded through comfort techniques, clear explanations, and steady presence so you move through each stage with confidence instead of fear.
When Your Partner Needs Support Too
Birth impacts the whole family.
I guide partners with practical comfort tools and calm reassurance so you move through labor as a connected, confident team.
Support is not about taking control.It is about helping you feel safe, informed, and steady in every moment of your birth journey.
How My Support Looks Across Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum?
From the first questions to the first contractions, I stay close, so you feel calm, informed, and supported like all moms deserves to be.
Certified Birth Doula serving the Raleigh and surrounding areas.
A calm, step-by-step journey of support.
Before We Begin
A Free Conversation to Connect
This is simply a free conversation with me, which can happen through a video call or an in-person meeting.
It is a space to talk about what you are experiencing, the questions that may be coming up, and what kind of support would feel most helpful for you as you prepare for birth.
You are welcome to bring your partner if you’d like. This journey often feels better when it is shared.
There is no pressure to decide anything during this conversation. The intention is simply to create ease, clarity, and connection, so you can feel whether working together feels right for you.
What Support Means
During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is not only about preparing for birth. It is also about feeling supported as questions arise and emotions shift along the way.
Throughout your pregnancy, I offer steady guidance, thoughtful conversation, and evidence-based information so you can feel more confident in your choices.
I also provide perinatal support sessions, including in-person classes, to help you prepare for labor with more clarity and calm. We talk through what labor may look like, practice comfort measures and coping techniques, and explore how to communicate your needs during birth.
Partners are welcome and encouraged to take part, because when both parents feel informed and connected, support becomes more natural and effective.
As labor approaches, I also help you recognize early signs of labor and feel more confident about when it may be time to go to the hospital.
My Differentiator
Community, Learning & Ongoing Support
One of the things that makes this experience different is the sense of community and connection that grows around it.
During pregnancy, I love helping the mothers I support feel that they are not walking this journey alone. Many families stay connected through a private WhatsApp group, where moms can share questions, experiences, and encouragement with others who are going through a similar stage of life.
Whenever possible, I also organize small gatherings and relaxed coffee meetups, creating opportunities to connect in person and learn from local professionals who come to share knowledge and answer questions about pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood.
Over time, many of the families I support build meaningful relationships with one another. What begins as preparation for birth often becomes a supportive circle that continues beyond pregnancy.
Especially for families living far from relatives, this sense of community, belonging, and shared experience can make the journey into parenthood feel lighter and more supported.
When Labor Begins
Labor & Birth
During labor and birth, my role is to be a calm, continuous presence by your side.
I offer emotional reassurance, physical comfort measures, and grounding support as labor unfolds.
I help create a sense of steadiness and safety, especially during intense or uncertain moments, while also supporting clear communication with your care team.
I do not make decisions for you or direct your birth. My role is to support your voice, your choices, and your experience, exactly as you want it to be.
After Baby Arrives
After Birth (Postpartum)
After birth, support continues.
This is a time of adjustment, recovery, and emotion, and it deserves care and attention. Postpartum support offers space to process your birth experience, ask questions, and receive reassurance as you settle into this new phase.
Whenever possible, I also stay connected with the families I support through postpartum visits, offering a moment of care, conversation, and reassurance as you begin life with your baby.
I also remain close through our WhatsApp communication, keeping contact with the families I have supported during pregnancy and birth so you always know you can reach out if questions or emotions arise.
There is no right or wrong way to feel after birth. You deserve to feel supported, seen, and cared for as you find your rhythm as a new family.
Let’s talk about what you need
and how I can support you.
Birth is not only something you experience.
It is something you carry with you forever.
