Trained Doulas in the Birth Room http://doulatraininghq.com/
E N D
In general the benefits of having a doula. Women who use doula's are: 1) More likely to have a spontaneous vaginal birth, 2) Less likely to have intrapartum analgesia, 3) Less likely to report dissatisfaction 4) Labors were shorter 5) Less likely to have c-sections, 6) Less likely to have instrumental deliveries 7) Less likely to have regional analgesia, 8) Less likely to have a baby with low apgars.
I find it important that we make trained doulas more a part of our birthing environment. Many birthing professionals are now calling for more trained doulas, yet it is something that is not taking place.
As women, we should step up and make that a part of what we request and expect to be made available. Having a trained doula consistently available to all women will do a lot towards improving our birthing environment.
