Click here for January Childbirth Classes! Considering a doula? Read on...
The birth of your child is such a special time that you will remember for the rest of your life. A doula can enhance this precious milestone with her:
- Specialized knowledge
- Encouragement
- Trust in the natural, normal birth process
- Birth Plan guidance
- Carefully assembled tool bag
- Positioning assistance during labor
- Physical, emotional and spiritual support
- The peace her presence brings
- Postpartum support including breastfeeding and babywearing help
- A detailed birth story and timeline
Women who have used a Doula are more satisfied with their birth experience, feel more confident in their ability to mother, bond faster with their newborn, are less likely to have postpartum depression, and are more likely to breastfeed. ~ Klaus, Kennel, and Klaus 2001
