What is a doula?

A doula is a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous
physical, emotional and informational support to the mother and her partner
before, during and just after birth, as well as provides emotional and
practical support during the postpartum period.

Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with
fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.
