Picture
Numerous clinical studies have found that a doula’s presence at birth
  • Tends to result in shorter labors with fewer complications
  • Reduces negative feelings about one’s childbirth experience
  • Reduces the need for pitocin (a labor-inducing drug), forceps, vacuum extraction, cesarean section
  • Reduces the mother’s request for pain medication and/or epidurals
​
Research shows that parents who receive doula support
  • Feel more secure and cared for
  • Are more successful in adapting to new family dynamics
  • Feel more positive about their partner
  • Have greater success with breastfeeding
  • Have greater self-confidence
  • Experience less postpartum depression
