Focusing on you.
Many people think that doulas only promote or only attend non-medicated, intervention-free births. There are statistics that women who have doula support at their births have fewer interventions.
Supporting the partner.
Doulas and partners can make a wonderful team during labor and in the postpartum period. Partners need support too and the doula is a wonderful source of guidance, encouragement and information.
