Kilila Birth Keeper Collective

Birth plans don’t always change because families choose to change them.

With recent maternity diversions affecting Peace Arch Hospital, many South Surrey and White Rock families are navigating uncertainty around where and how they’ll give birth.

When systems feel stretched, steady support matters. Doula care can offer continuity, calm, and advocacy when plans shift unexpectedly.

I wrote a short post about how doula support can help families feel more grounded and supported during maternity diversions. If this affects you or someone you love, I invite you to read more, or reach out.
