Goals of Traditional Birth Doula Support

Emotional Support

Offering calm, reassuring, and compassionate care during labor to help mothers feel confident and cared for.

Physical Comfort

Providing hands-on techniques like massage, counterpressure, breathing guidance, and position changes to ease labor discomfort

Informational Support

Helping mothers understand what’s happening during labor, providing evidence-based insights, and explaining options or interventions when needed.

Advocacy

Encouraging mothers to voice their preferences and supporting communication between the mother and healthcare providers.

Continuity of Care

Being a constant, familiar presence throughout labor and delivery, ensuring the mother feels consistently supported.

Support During the Golden Hour

Assisting with initial skin-to-skin bonding, breastfeeding, and creating a calm environment to support early postpartum recovery and bonding.

A birth doula provides non-clinical, continuous support to mothers during labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period.

What is a Doula?

Continuous Support

Doulas stay with mothers throughout the entire process, unlike OBs or nurses who may come and go based on medical tasks or shift schedules.

Non-Clinical Focus

Unlike OBs and nurses, doulas don’t handle medical tasks but instead focus on the mother’s emotional well-being, comfort, and advocacy.

Physical Techniques

Doulas are trained in hands-on techniques like counterpressure, massage, and position changes that partners may not know.

Informed Decision-Making

Doulas provide evidence-based information in the moment, helping mothers understand their options and advocate for themselves.

Emotional Bonding with Partner

Unlike a doula, a partner has an intimate emotional connection, but a doula can help the partner feel confident and guide them in supporting the laboring mother.
