Studies have shown that a Doula at your birth can result in:

  • Shorter labors and hospital stays.

  • Less inductions or augmentations.

  • Reduced need for pain medication.

  • Partners participation with confidence.

  • High rate or vaginal birth after Cesarean (VBAC)

  • Women supported by a Doula have been shown to have a 50% decrease in Cesarean sections, a 25% decrease in length of labor, 30% decrease in use of forceps, 40% decrease in use of oxytocin, 60% decrease in use of epidurals, 30% decrease in use of pain medications.

  • Some long term benefits include: better maternal-infant bonding, improved initiation of lactation, lower incidence of post-pardum depression, and overall greater maternal satisfaction.

comes to women when
they give birth.  It
accumulates like clouds
on the Horizon and
passes through, carrying
the child with it."
