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. Support Changes Everything.
O nascimento é poderoso.
É profundamente pessoal.
E, ao mesmo tempo, pode despertar medos e inseguranças.
Birth is powerful. It is personal. And it can also feel overwhelming.
If you have had questions, fears, or moments of doubt about your birth experience, you are not alone.
Many mothers reach out not because something is wrong, but because they want to feel
prepared, respected, and emotionally safe.
Even if it is not you first pregnancy, you might be thinking…
- What if everything moves too fast and I don’t truly understand my options?
- What if I feel pressured to say yes before I feel ready?
- What if the pain feels overwhelming and I lose control?
- Will my partner know how to support me when it matters most?
- Will I feel heard and respected, or just like another patient?
- What if language or cultural differences make it harder to speak up?
If these thoughts have crossed your mind, you are not alone.
Every pregnancy, whether your first or your tenth, carries its own emotions, decisions, and unknowns.
Birth is powerful and deeply personal. Wanting clarity, steadiness, and support does not mean you are afraid. It means you care.
Here is what changes when you have a continuous doula support
Without steady support, these and many other questions can feel overwhelming.
With guidance and presence, you respond with clarity instead of fear.
I help you understand your options before decisions feel urgent. We talk through common procedures, informed consent, and how to ask for time to decide. You learn practical comfort tools such as breathing techniques, movement, positioning, and natural pain relief methods that support your body during labor.
Your partner feels more confident. You feel more grounded. The room becomes calmer. Instead of reacting to birth, you move through it with confidence, understanding, and steady support beside you.
My role is not to replace your medical team. It is to help you feel safe, informed, and in control of your own experience.
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 everyone involved.
Whether this is your first baby or your tenth, every pregnancy brings its own emotions, decisions, and needs.
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 so you feel fully understood, emotionally safe, and confident expressing your needs.
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.
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 Connection Conversation
This is simply free conversation with me which can be rather a video call or a in person meeting.
A space to talk about what you are experiencing, what questions are coming up for you, and what kind of support would feel most helpful for you and later on. 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 to create ease, clarity, and a sense of connection, so you can feel whether working together feels right for you.
What Support Means
During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is not just about preparing for birth. It is about feeling supported as things change, questions arise, and emotions shift along the way.
Throughout your pregnancy, I remain available to offer steady support, thoughtful conversation, and evidence-based information. We talk through options together, explore concerns as they come up, and create space for you to feel heard and respected in your choices.
As your body begins to prepare for labor, I am also here to help you understand early signs, recognize contractions, and feel more confident about when it may be time to go to the hospital. You do not have to navigate those moments alone or second-guess yourself.
My Differentiator
Perinatal Support & In-Person Classes
I offer perinatal support sessions that can include one or both parents.
These sessions are designed to help you feel more prepared, grounded, and confident as birth approaches. We talk through what labor can look like, explore comfort measures, practice coping techniques, and discuss how to communicate your needs during birth.
Partners are welcome and encouraged to be part of this process. When both parents feel informed and connected, support becomes more natural and more effective.
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 things unfold.
I help create a sense of steadiness and safety, especially during intense or uncertain moments, while 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.
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.
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.
