Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Doula — Cloud Nine Birth Services | Birth Doula Services | Postpartum Doula Services
Choosing to hire a doula is a smart choice, but don’t just take our word for it – Data from the medical and scientific communities agree that having a doula lowers your chances of having a cesarean section , shortening births, reducing the need for vacuums. or forceps, and generally creates a better birth outcome for both the birther and the baby. This leads to a lower chance of postpartum mood disorders and an overall happier birth experience for everyone. If you are an Olympic athlete – you will have a coach – it is no different. Doulas are your birth coach to navigate this experience (whether it’s your first or fifth baby. Every pregnancy and birth is different!). A coach who will accompany you on your journey as a guide and source of unconditional and non-judgmental support.
As said by Dr. John Kennell “If a Doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it”.
