Childbirth assistant

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to a woman during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They are not medical professionals, but rather serve as a companion and advocate for the mother, helping her to have a positive and empowering birth experience. Doulas can provide a range of services, including helping with pain management techniques, providing comfort measures, and assisting with breastfeeding and newborn care. They work closely with the mother and her partner to ensure that their needs and preferences are respected and that they feel supported throughout the entire process.
