Benefits of a Doula
A doula is there to focus her undivided attention on you! She will explain the benefits, risks, of different procedures. Doulas encourage you to use that information to make informed choices and will support you in your decisions.
A recent study has shown that having a doula support you during birth:
- *Reduced the caesareans rate by 50%
- *Reduced length of labour by 25%
- *Reduced the use of epidurals by 60%
- *Reduced the use of forceps by 30%
- *Decreases postpartum depression
