WHAT IS A DOULA?
The word Doula comes from ancient Greek. A Doula is a “woman who serves”. Currently it is used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth. Or provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. Studies have shown than when doulas attend births labors are shorter with fewer complications and overall better outcomes for mother and baby.
