What is a birth doula?
Every Family Needs A Doula!
A birth doula is a nonmedical support companion who supports you during pregnancy, labor, and birth. Birth doulas are trained to provide continuous, one-on-one care, physical support, and emotional support during labor. Doulas also provide resources and support to families before or during birth, and into the postpartum period. There are many different types of doulas, along with many different types of training, certifications, traditional practices, and perspectives on doula care. Doula support has been proven by research to help increase positive birth outcomes for both mom and baby.
#######
- Doula support significantly reduces cesarean births, instrumental vaginal births, and the need for oxytocin.
- Doula support is associated with higher newborn Apgar scores and higher birthing satisfaction by mothers.
- Doulas can help mothers identify and connect to resources for basic needs, which reduces maternal stress and outcomes.
