FAQs

What are the benefits and disadvantages of having a Doula at my birth?

Numerous studies have documented the benefits of having a doula present during labor. Many recent reports show a very high number of positive birth outcomes when a doula is present. With the support of a doula, women are less likely to have pain medication administered and less likely to have a cesarean birth. Women also reported having a more positive childbirth experience.

What is the effect doulas have on birth outcomes?

50% reduction in the cesarean rate 25% shorter labor
60% reduction in epidural requests 40% reduction in Pitocin use
30% reduction in analgesia use 40% reduction in forceps delivery
Improved chest/breastfeeding
Reported satisfaction with birth experience
Decreased postpartum depression
There are no disadvantages to having women supporting other women during birth.

What if I plan on receiving an epidural or have a scheduled cesarean?

Planning on an epidural?

Plenty of women receive epidurals for pain, some planned and some unplanned. A doula is able to support a laboring mom planning on receiving an epidural the same as one who is not. Many hospitals will only begin to administer anesthesia when a laboring woman is at least 4-5cm dilated. A doula supports a mom before, during, and after it is administered. Often times, women are able to labor a longer amount of time with a doula, lessening the chances of a needed c-section, or interventions such as forceps/vacuum. If the laboring person receives an epidural, a doula can help keep laboring person and partner make informed decisions and help laboring person with comfort measures and optimal positioning for labor. Epidural or not, a doula saves as emotional and mental support

Scheduled a c-section?

If laboring person has a scheduled c-section, a doula is able to accompany the laboring person, calming them and their partner before the surgery, which often brings about all kinds of emotions. After the c-section, when the partner will need to stay with the baby, a doula is able to stay with the laboring person so they are not alone, keeping them updated on the process as well as providing mental and emotional support. A doula is also able to document the birth, write a birth story, take photos, and help with chest/breastfeeding.
