A woman's emotional support team is as vital to her birth experience as the medical team. Adovocates who are there for her are necessary to help protect her memory of the birth of her child. Research has shown that women accompanied by a doula at birth have better outcomes and are more satisfied with their birth experience. This is because a labor doula encourages a woman to trust her body, equips her with the knowledge she needs to make informed decisions, surrounds her with compassionate support, and empowers her to embrace motherhood with confidence.
