Why hire a doula?

A doula is more than just a birth partner. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of continuous care in pregnancy and birth, but with NHS services so overstretched this option is frequently withheld from women and birthing people. Support from a doula helps bridge that gap, by allowing you to build a relationship of mutual trust and respect with somebody who will be by your side throughout your journey to parenthood. The benefits of this level of loving, unconditional support are proven - a recent review of 16 studies found that doula support is associated with a whole host of benefits to birthing person and baby, including reduced incidence of caesarean, reduced incidence of medical pain management, reduced rate of induction, reduced infant mortality, improved perinatal mental health and improved breastfeeding rates.
