Why Hire a Birth Doula?
Women and birth parents who have continuous support from a doula are 39% less likely to have a Cesarean birth, according to a 2017 Cochrane Review.
Studies show that having a doula reduces the use of Pitocin by 31% and the likelihood of instrumental delivery (forceps or vacuum) by 15%.
Research indicates that the presence of a doula can shorten labor by an average of 41 minutes.
With a doula, there’s a 10% reduction in the use of pain medications and a 9% decrease in epidural requests, helping families achieve their desired birth plans.
Women and birth parents supported by a doula report higher satisfaction rates, a stronger sense of control over their birth experience, and are more likely to describe their birth as positive and empowering, even if unexpected changes arise.
Doulas provide continuous physical and emotional comfort, from massage techniques to affirmations and words of encouragement. They act as advocates, helping you communicate your preferences with your care team to ensure your voice is heard.
Women and birth parents who work with doulas report lower rates of postpartum depression and feel better equipped to transition into motherhood.
Doulas enhance partners’ role during birth - many partners feel more confident and involved with a doula’s guidance, creating a stronger support team.
Doulas provide evidence-based information about interventions, positions for labor, and comfort measures, helping families make informed decisions without pressure.
Having a doula helps you feel connected and supported, setting a foundation for a positive postpartum experience.
What Our Clients Have to Say:
"When searching for a full spectrum doula, it was important to my husband and I that we select someone who would serve as a guide leading up to and during labor, have ample knowledge of the childbirth process, and be readily available to support us during our baby’s birth. Amber brought all of these qualities and more to our childbirth experience.
Upon meeting Amber, we instantly felt at ease and knew that we aligned well with her practice. Amber comes with a wealth of knowledge and helped us mentally and emotionally prepare for the birth of our baby girl. As first-time parents, we had a multitude of questions about the birth process, and she helped ease our anxiety by providing resources and recommendations.
She readily made herself available to us leading up to our due date, clearing her schedule in anticipation of the big day… which was fortunate given that our baby girl decided to come 9 days early. Amber was present throughout labor, providing massages, cold compresses and consult.
We are grateful to have worked with Amber, and would recommend her to those looking for a compassionate and skilled full spectrum doula."
