What is a doula?

A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth. They offer comfort measures such as breathing techniques, massage, and positioning advice, and can also provide support and suggestions for partners. Doulas can help create a calm and empowering birthing environment, and their support has been shown to reduce the need for medical interventions during labor. They play a crucial role in promoting a positive childbirth experience.
