Birth Doula
A birth doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to a person before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Doulas help expectant parents understand their options, manage labor pain, and create a positive birth experience. Unlike medical personnel, doulas do not deliver babies but focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of childbirth. They often assist with relaxation techniques, provide comfort measures, and offer reassurance. Their goal is to empower parents, ensuring they feel informed and supported throughout the birthing process.
