What is a Doula?
A doula is a professional who provides emotional and physical support to a mother and her partner before, during, and after childbirth. The job of a doula typically involves the following responsibilities:

Providing information and resources
A doula helps expectant parents understand the birth process and the options available to them so that they can make an informed decision. They can also provide information on childbirth education, pain management techniques, and postpartum recovery.

Emotional support

Physical support

Advocacy

Positive birth outcome
Research shows that those who choose doula support have better birth outcomes, are less likely to experience birth complications, have lowered cesarean section rates as well as other interventions. They also found that doula support lowered the use of epidurals and found mother’s were significantly more likely to initiate breastfeeding.
