Why
Use a Doula?
Doulas have been shown to greatly benefit birth
in the following way:
Natural Vaginal Delivery (no medication or forceps)...43%
increase
Caesarean Rate...50% decrease
Epidural Requests...60% decrease
Pain Medication...30% decrease
Length of Labor...25% decrease*
I was also a part of the Kaiser Doula Research Project for
l8 months and it reinforced my beliefs in the great results
of doula-assisted births.
I want every family to have a good birth memory. Hopefully
when your birth is done, you will have good memories.
References
are readily available if you would like to talk to families
that can describe the benefits they received from having a
doula-assisted birth.
