Viktorya Fullerton - Viktorious Women ServicesSummaryViktorya Fullerton is a privately hired nonmedical advisor for women going through the process of pregnancy and childbirth known as Doula. She is a licensed personal coach for women and empowering birth mothers since the birth of her child 8 years ago. She advises women on how to handle themselves better during menstruation, conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding. She also advises husbands and men on how to support their partners in pre, post, and during the birth of their child. Having a Doula decreases the chances of having a cesarean section by 39%, along with a lesser amount of epidural and Pitocin. The Post-Covid policy of the majority of the hospital in the US of having one attendant with the patient has often made her unavailable besides her client. She is working to enable policy changes for Doula to be beside the birthmothers to help them have a better experience in labor in hospitals and wants people to voice out to the hospitals in this regard as they listen more to their patients than businesses like her.
