Why should I use a doula?

    The benefits of a trained doula are:
  • Continuous emotional and physical support for the birthing family.
  • Support for the father, which increases his confidence in his role.
  • Knowledge and experience in the birthing process.
  • Reduced rates of cesarean, pain medication use, and other interventions.
  • Increase in mother's satisfaction.
  • Less postpartum depression.

After your baby's arrival, your doula will be available for consultation and support during the first few weeks following the birth.
