What is a doula?

While a doula can’t speak for you, a doula can help you advocate for yourself and your desired birth plan. Unlike your partner, your medical provider, or the labor and delivery nurse, a doula is a unique complement to your birth team because they are the only person who can be focused solely on you and your needs and whose role is explicitly to help protect your memory of your child’s birth.

 

Benefits of a doula

  • Higher Birth Satisfaction

  • Shorter Labors

  • Fewer Babies in NICU

  • Fewer Epidurals

  • Less Cesarean Birth

  • Less Vacuum and Forceps
