Doula for pregnancy is vital. A Doula is a professional who can support you physically and emotionally during labor and delivery. Doulas provide support in any situation during pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Doulas can offer services for two types of requirements. They can be hired as birth Doula or postpartum Doula.

  • Birth Doula – Stays with you throughout the labor and delivery, providing necessary care.
  • Postpartum doula – Helps take care of the new mother and baby during the first few weeks postpartum. Also helps in managing household chores and other children.

Doulas are being recommended by several people nowadays. This is because most people choose to go with the non-medicated birth process. It is apparent even on social media, where celebrity moms are educating people on how to have safe home births naturally. This is where a Doula can help. If you decide to have a home birth, a doula can be beneficial. They keep you positive and help in dealing with pain management during labor and delivery.

You may still consider having a doula if you choose the hospital birth. They help prepare you mentally and physically for your labor and childbirth. You can meet them in your early pregnancy or mid-way to get to know each other.
