Understanding the Role of a Doula
What is a Doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. Doulas are knowledgeable about the birthing process and offer a variety of support services to meet the unique needs of each family.
Types of Doula Support
There are different types of doulas, including birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and antepartum doulas. Birth doulas assist during labor and delivery, postpartum doulas support families after the baby is born, and antepartum doulas help those experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Each type of doula plays a crucial role in ensuring a positive birthing experience.
