What is a Doula? A doula, also known as a birth companion or birth coach is a non-medical person who assists a woman before, during, or after childbirth, to provide emotional support and physical help if needed. They also provide support to the mother's partner and family. Continuous support during birth from a person outside the mother's family or social circle, such as a doula, is associated with reduced mortality rates, improved overall health of the mother and the baby, shorter labor time, reduced risk of a c-section and a lower need for medical interventions such as instrumental delivery or pain relief. Support from a doula also reduces the mothers' negative feelings about their childbirth experience. My purpose is to help you achieve a positive and memorable birth experience as defined by you. |
