Who Needs a Doula?

Birth Presence Doula Care affirms that everyone can benefit from the care of a doula. A good doula is patient and will take the time to discuss your individual needs and wishes concerning childbirth. She will work with you to achieve a satisfying birth experience, as you define it, and can facilitate superior adjustment during the postpartum period for you and your family.
