Doulas do.....
-
Provide physical, emotional, and educational support from pregnancy to beyond.
All moms benefit from a doula, no matter what type of birth you are planning.
A birth doula will:
-
physical and emotional support
-
information to help couples make informed choices before, during, and after the birth
-
utilize techniques and comfort measures which ease labor pains
-
guide moms in navigating their way through a sometimes confusing and overwhelming medical system
-
educate families and help them find the information they need to make confident choices for their family and their birth
-
stay with their clients throughout the entire labor, birth, and immediate postpartum time
-
provide steadfast, non-judgmental emotional support and reassurance.
Having this continuous support from a non-biased professional is associated with improved maternal and fetal health, lower risk of interventions, and less need for pain relief medications.
