Hiring a Doula lowers the mother's risk for complications with postpartum depression or PTSD considerably. Her support also lowers the chances of the mother requiring pain medication in labour which in turn results in fewer interventions in labour and lower cesarean rates. A Doula helps the expectant family to make informed choices throughout their pregnancy, delivery and in the postpartum phase, so they are less likely to feel confusion or regret. A Doula can help a mother through the often difficult first steps of breastfeeding her infant and encourage their bond to strengthen. She can offer advice and a listening ear for a mother who is feeling nervous or excited about an upcoming birth, or for one who is feeling confusion or grief from complications or loss.
A Doula is an investment for the whole family.
