What are the benefits of hiring a doula?

Picture
Many studies have shown the benefits of having a doula present during labor. Birther's have a better chance of having a positive birth experience with doula support.  A recent Cochrane Review, Continuous Support for Women During Childbirth, reflects this. With the support of a doula, women were less likely to have pain relief medications, less likely to have a cesarean birth, and had a more positive childbirth experience.

Other studies have shown that having a doula results in:
  • 50% reduction in the cesarean rate
  • 25% shorter labor
  • 60% reduction in epidural requests
  • 40% reduction in oxytocin
  • 30% reduction in analgesia use
  • 40% reduction in forceps delivery

And the benefits do not end at birth. There are many positive results shown postpartum as well:

  • Less reports of Postpartum Anxiety and Postpartum Depression
  • More confident with baby
  • Higher breastfeeding success rates
