The Birth Professional

A birth professional is a trained individual who supports and cares for women during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. They provide education, emotional encouragement, and physical comfort, ensuring a positive birth experience. This group includes midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, and lactation consultants. Unlike physicians, many birth professionals focus on personalized support and empowering women to make informed choices about their childbirth options. Their goal is to promote healthy, confident, and satisfying births by combining evidence-based practices with compassionate care.
