Why Everyone Deserves a Doula
“A birth doula recognizes birth as one of the most important experiences a mother will ever have in her life. She understands the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor. She provides objective emotional and physical support and helps the woman get the information she needs to make informed decisions. She can facilitate communication between the laboring woman, her partner and her midwives and doctors. She will stay with the woman through the labor however long it may be.”
