What is a Birth Doula?
A birth doula also known as a labour coach or labour support, and originating from the Ancient Greek word meaning female servant is a nonmedical person who assists a woman before, during or after childbirth, as well as her partner and/or family by providing information, physical assistance and emotional support. The provision of continuous support during labour by birth doulas is associated with improved maternal and fetal health and a variety of other benefits.
The Benefits of Birth Doula Care
Those that choose to use the expertise of a birth doula or labour coach can expect to have so many benefits, such as, a shorter labour, less requests for pain medication, significant reduction in forceps or vacuum delivery, and greater maternal satisfaction.
When Using a Birth Doula in Your Labour

You are inviting someone into your experience that knows what to expect and can reassure you and all those who are part of your birth.

“If a doula was a drug it would be unethical not to use it”
