A doula (/ˈduːlə/, also known as a birth companion and post-birth supporter[1] and originating from the Ancient Greek word δούλη which is the feminine form of "slave")[2] is a nonmedical person who assists a woman before, during, and/or after childbirth, as well as her spouse and/or family, by providing physical assistance, and emotional support.[3] The provision of continuous support during labour is associated with improved maternal and fetal health and a variety of other benefits, including lower risk of induction and interventions and less need for pain relief. These benefits are particularly significant when continuous support is provided by someone who is not there as family/friend or as medical staff (i.e. a doula).[4] Additionally, a doula is sometimes hired to work with families beyond the postpartum stages, providing continued physical and emotional support, for as long as needed (sometimes, this support can be ongoing for several years).
These days most doulas will have completed some training to prepare them for the role. The goal of a doula is to ensure the mother and her partner feel safe and confident before, during, and after birth.[5]
"I am a childbirth professional. I consult expectant mothers and families throughout pregnancy and the actual birth to help facilitate the best experience possible" (Missy David)
