The basics
What is a birth doula?
A birth doula is a trained, non-medical professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a person before, during, and shortly after childbirth.
What a doula does
Doulas offer hands-on comfort measures, breathing guidance, and emotional reassurance throughout labor. They are not medical providers — they don't deliver babies or make clinical decisions — but they are a constant, calming presence.
Types of doulas
Birth doulas support you during labor and delivery. Postpartum doulas help after the baby arrives with newborn care, feeding support, and household tasks. Antepartum doulas work with high-risk pregnancies requiring bed rest.
Why families hire doulas
Research consistently shows that continuous labor support from a doula is associated with shorter labors, lower rates of cesarean births, reduced use of pain medication, and higher satisfaction with the birth experience.
A word from the research
A Cochrane review of 26 studies found that people supported by a doula were 26% less likely to have a cesarean section and 28% less likely to use pain medications.
