Why have a birth doula?
A doula is a trained professional who offers guidance and provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to families before, during, and shortly after childbirth. A doula also encourages mother and the birth partner to advocate for themselves and their baby. We help provide comfort measures and pain relief techniques that include breathing, relaxation, massage, and laboring positions. We also work with your partner by reassuring them and guiding them in the ways they can comfort you, and providing periodic breaks for them.
When continuous labor support was provided by a doula, women experienced:
31% decrease in the use of Pitocin.
25% decrease in the risk of C-section.
12% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth.
10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief.
14% decrease in the risk of newborns being admitted to a special care nursery.
34% decrease in dissatisfaction with the birth experience.
