A doula gives informational,physical and emotional support during their
pregnancy, labor & delivery and postpartum.
Research has shown that the
presence of a doula lowers the incidence of medical interventions. Women who
have had continous labor support have shorter labors, less need for forceps, a
lower risk of a cesarean section and interact more favorably with their
newborns.
