Pregnant? get a doula.

I'm very excited about my new promo piece. It's postcard size and I think they turned out great!

What is a doula?

A Doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and educational support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. A labor doula helps a woman prepare for birth and provides a range of labor support techniques and comfort measures. She is a birth advocate who encourages informed consent and strives to improve a mother’s self confidence.

Research shows that women who are cared for by a doula are:

• 26% less likely to give birth by Cesarean section

• 28% less likely to use any analgesia or anesthesia

• 33% less likely to be dissatisfied or negatively rate their birth experience

• 41% less likely to give birth with a vacuum extractor or forceps

Doulas provide non-medical services that supplement those of medical staff such as doctors, nurses, or midwives. However, a doula stays with you throughout your entire labor & delivery.
