What is a Birth Doula?

A birth doula provides physical, mental, emotional, and informational support to individuals in labor. As a non-medical member of a birthing person's care team, a doula does not provide clinical advice or interfere with the doctor or midwife's role, instead they are complementary. For example, a doula provides coaching on breathing and positioning through labor, supports the birthing individual to have ownership over their birth and delivery decisions, and supports the non-birthing partner (e.g. the father of the child, mother of birthing individual, partner, etc.) to best support their partner throughout birth. Additionally, a birth doula ensures continuous and consistent support throughout the birthing process.
