Labor Doula

A labor doula is a trained professional who provides support to a birthing person before, during, and shortly after childbirth. They offer emotional reassurance, physical comfort measures, and continuous encouragement to help manage labor pain and reduce stress. Doulas do not perform medical tasks but work alongside healthcare providers to enhance the overall birthing experience. Their presence has been associated with shorter labor, less need for medical interventions, and higher satisfaction with the birth experience. Overall, a labor doula offers personalized, non-medical support to promote a positive and empowering birth.
