WHAT IS A DOULA ??

A Doula is a woman with a passion for birth who:
Recognizes birth as a key life experience, understands the physiology
of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor;
Assists a pregnant woman in preparing for and carrying out her plans
for the birth;
Stays by the side of the laboring woman throughout labor — no change in shift;
Provides emotional support, practical comfort measures, an objective
viewpoint and information to aid decision-making;
Acts as a liaison between a laboring woman, her partner and clinical
care providers;
Does not replace the woman’s partner or clinical care providers.
