What is the One Thing You Would Like to Know About Your Pregnancy and Childbirth?
Are you concerned about the pain? Are you worried that you may not be able to handle the pain? Did you know that there are ways to manage the your labor without medications? If you did want medication what should you take and when? How will these affect your labor and your baby? Are you worried that you could end up with a Cesarean Section?
Your Doula Knows the answers to these and many other questions you may have. Dr. John Kennel, Ohio Pediatirican and Founding Member of Doulas of North America (DONA), says, "If a doula were a drug, it would be malpractice not to use it."
Evidence from the Perinatal Education Assoc. shows that with Doula support:
labors are less stressful
25% shorter labor
less need for medications/inductions/augmentations
end up with 50% less Cesareans
40% less forceps/vacuum assisted births
Evidence also shows that it is easier for the mother and baby to start and continue breastfeeding, there is more parent satisfaction and increased confidence and self-esteem for mother with the support of a Doula.
