continuous labor support

Continuous labor support refers to the presence of a trained professional, such as a doula or a supportive partner, throughout the labor process. This support includes providing emotional reassurance, physical comfort through techniques like massage or positioning, and helping families navigate the birthing process. Research shows that continuous support can lead to better outcomes, such as reduced pain, a lower likelihood of interventions, and a more positive birth experience. The main goal is to ensure the birthing person feels supported, informed, and empowered during labor and delivery.
