General Info
Throughout time women have helped other women birth. A doula is a professional continuous support for a pregnant and birthing mother. A Doula never takes the place of the birthing mom's partner, the health care provider, midwife, or family. A doula is there to complement and encourage hospital staff, midwives, doctors, and family. The presence of another woman helps to nurture and serve the mother, while comforting her during the birthing experience. As emotional and informational support, a doula can serve you physically through different techniques used in labor. These comfort measures can include: massage, breathing, hydro-therapy, positioning, aroma-therapy and relaxation techniques. A birth doula understands the natural birth process and tries to encourage a birth with as few interventions as possible, knowing that it is the safest choice. A birth Doula never gives medical advice or performs medical tasks. However, a birth Doula can share her knowledge, experience, and a wide scope of resources that have been scientifically proven. This way a couple can make informed choices which will encourage a safe a gentle birth.
