What Do Doulas Do?
Doulas are birth and postpartum companions who prepare, inform, and support people through pregnancy, labor, and delivery. They answer questions and ensure people have the emotional and physical support they need. They prioritize a person’s comfort and advocate for their choices.
Benefits of Using a Doula
Ongoing studies consistently result in evidence-based support for using doulas. Decreases are seen in the occurrence of cesarean births, the use of pain relief medication, the length of labor, and the risk of a low five minute Apgar score. People and families report a higher rate of satisfaction with the birth and postpartum experience.
