Why do you need
a doula?
The word "Doula" is a greek word that means "the one who serves".
In ancient times, women were giving birth at home and were often attended by a midwife. Laboring women were also nurtured and cared for by a network of female family members, neighbors and friends during the birthing process and the weeks after baby was born. However, in our modern society, continuous support during and after labor has often become the exception rather than the routine.
Here is what the research says about continuous support during labour, and the benefits of having a doula by your side during childbirth, and the weeks after your baby arrives.
