Doula Services

Labor Doula

A labor doula, derived from the Greek word “doulas” meaning “woman’s servant”, is a trained birth advocate who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to the expectant and laboring mother.  While working together with the mother’s partner and medical team, she aids the family in obtaining all the necessary information available on their options during labor and delivery.  She is also trained to use a variety of pain management skills to help a mother cope with labor while assisting her in achieving the birth experience of her choice. 

Benefits of using a labor doula:

Statistically mothers with an attending doula present at her birth benefit from:

  • A 50% lower chance of having a C-Section
  • A 25% shorter labor
  • A 60% reduction in epidural requests
  • A 40% reduction in the use of pitocin
  • A 50% increase in breastfeeding success during the first six weeks
  • A decreased chance of postpartum depression and a greater chance of expressing satisfaction with their overall birth experience
