All tips : Life talk : Doula do: Why doulas are so popular

Doula do: Why doulas are so popular
by Nancy and Betsy

Why are doulas - trained labor supporters - becoming so popular? Rachel Gurevich, author of the forthcoming The Doula Advantage (Prima Publishing), says, "Women are taking charge of their births and deciding to turn it back into a celebratory experience, not the medical event that modern society has made it. Having someone present who trusts in the birth process, who wants nothing more than this woman to have a positive birth experience, and at the same time, understands that there is a place and time for medical interventions, will radiate confidence onto the laboring woman." This is important whether you're planning a "natural" or medicated birth. Beyond nervous relatives and possibly indifferent medical staff, Rachel notes, "Every woman deserves a calm and reassuring presence at her birth."
