What Does a Birth Doula Do?
A birth doula recognizes birth as a key life experience that the mother will remember all her life.
We understand the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor. We assist the couple in planning and carrying out their birth plans.
The acceptance of doulas in maternity care is growing rapidly with the recognition of their important contribution to the improved physical outcomes and emotional well being of mothers and infants. More resources and information…
A birth doula stays by the side of the laboring woman throughout the entire labor. We strive to protect the woman’s memory of her birth experience.
During labor, birth doula provides…
- emotional support
- physical comfort
- an objective viewpoint
- assistance to the woman in getting the information she needs to make good decisions.
A Doula does not speak for and make decisions for the couple or perform any medical tasks.
