Why take a Doula?

Posted by shoshanakesner on 2007-10-24 in doula, birth, childbirth, education, epidural, c-section      

Doula's offer constant and continuous support. They don't leave you at shift change, or at lunch- or at midnight!

Recent studies show that when a Doula is present at a birth, labors tend to be shorter, coping with pain is improved, less technical aid is required, and the experience is more satisfying for the mother. Regardless of how the birth unfolds women and their partners appreciate the continuous support of their Doula.
