"Before you scroll on past with rolling eyes thinking this one is just for hippys, bear with me for 60 seconds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Doula' is another one of those words, a but like 'hypnobirthing' that sounds a bit weird until you know what it really means! And (unless you're a big Gilmore Girls fan like me) you may not have come across doulas before.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Doulas nurture and support women either throughout labour and birth or in the postnatal period (or both!). As a non medical professional they are there to provide you with support (be that practical, physical, emotional, information providing or as your advocate), no matter what decisions you make or how you give birth. Doulas, just like the rest of us, come from ALL walks of life! It's simply about finding someone you connect with, who you feel able to welcome into your birthing space.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A cochrane review into continuous support from a woman in labour showed women were..
🤱More likely to have spontaneous vaginal births
💉Less likely to have any pain medication including epidurals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😔 Less likely to have negative feelings about childbirth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏥 Less likely to have instrumental births, and Cesareans⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏱️ Likely to have a shorter labour by approx 40 minutes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😞 Less likely to suffer from postnatal depression.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is NO evidence that having continuous support in labour has any negative outcomes 🤯 NONE!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YIKES! So why don't we all have one? 🤔 For more info on doulas and the most wonderful and insightful chat about birth, listen to episode 1 of the birth-ed podcast!

Would you consider a doula?"
