What is a Doula?
Derived from the Greek word meaning “woman servant,” a doula is a trained birth companion who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expectant mothers and their partners before, during, and after childbirth. Unlike midwives or healthcare providers, doulas do not provide medical care but instead offer continuous support and advocacy to help women have positive and empowering birth experiences.
The Benefits of Doula Support
Research has shown that having a doula present during labor and childbirth can have numerous benefits for both mother and baby. Studies indicate that women who receive doula support are less likely to
- require medical interventions such as cesarean sections or epidurals,
- have shorter labors,
- report higher levels of satisfaction with their birth experiences.
Additionally, doula support has been linked to lower rates of postpartum depression and improved breastfeeding outcomes.
