The Benefits Of Doula Support
As you may already know, there are numerous benefits to having Doula support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The emotional, physical, and educational guidance provided by Doulas—who are non-medical care providers—can significantly enhance your experience.
Studies have shown that having a Birth Doula decreases the likelihood of interventions such as synthetic oxytocin by 31%, anesthesia use by 10%, and the rate of cesarean sections by 39%. Additionally, Birth Doula support is associated with shorter labor, higher APGAR scores for the baby, and a greater overall sense of satisfaction reported by the birthing person.
Research also highlights the positive impact of Postpartum Doula support, with parents feeling less anxious and experiencing lower rates of postpartum depression and anxiety. Furthermore, Postpartum Doula support has been linked to increased self-confidence, stronger partner relationships, and higher breastfeeding satisfaction and success.
