11. Many doulas will stick around for a bit after your baby is born to help with initial breastfeeding. They can help with latch, positioning, and answer questions.
12. The support of a doula doesn’t end at birth. Many doulas are also trained to nurture moms and support their families while they adjust to life with a newborn.

17. Doulas are trained to help guide mothers with breathing and positioning techniques which may help baby arrive that little bit quicker!
18. Women who are supported by a doula for labor and delivery tend to have more positive feelings about childbirth. This is likely because doulas work with mothers ahead of time to reassure them of their power and natural abilities.
19. Doulas help to advocate for their clients to ask questions and stick to their birthing plan whenever possible, just this gentle support can be the difference of a woman receiving an intervention during labor or not.
20. One of a doula’s primary goals is to care for the mother’s emotional health and enhance her ability to have positive birth memories. Emotional support helps you feel cared for and feel a sense of pride and empowerment after birth.
