There are great benefits to having a birth Doula. Recent studies show that women that use a Doula throughout their labor and child birthing experience have a more positive birth experience and outcome. Here is a list of very impressive benefits:
– 60% reduction in cesareans using pain relief during labor
– 80% reduction in cesareans with non medicated labor
– 34% reduction in forceps or vacuum
– 60% reduction in epidurals
– 9% reduction in pain medications
– 25% reduction in labor hours
– 31% reduction in synthetic oxytocin (pitocin)
– Breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum has increased
– 6 weeks postpartum mothers have higher self-esteem, less anxiety and less depression
