What is a Doula?

A doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to a person before, during, and after childbirth. Unlike a midwife, a doula does not deliver babies. Instead, she focuses on supporting the birthing person and their partner throughout the process.

Doulas offer various forms of support, including:

• Emotional support: Doulas provide reassurance and encouragement during labor.

• Physical support: They can assist with comfort measures, such as massage or positioning.

  
  

• Informational support: Doulas help you understand your options and make informed decisions.

  
  

Having a doula like Abby by your side can help you feel more empowered and in control during your birth experience.
