If you are a caring, hands-on woman who is interested in the birth
process and helping women and their babies have a positive birth
experience, Doula work could be for you.
There are many proven benefits of having a doula present at birth.
Research shows that Doula care lowers the rates of medical
interventions, including epidurals, oxytocin use, and cesarean
deliveries. Postpartum outcomes improve as well. Women assisted by
doulas have better breastfeeding experiences, improved
maternal-infant interaction, lower incidence of postpartum depression
and anxiety, higher self-esteem and more satisfaction with the birth
experience.
