The Benefits of Having a Doula Present During Labor

Clinical studies have found that a doula’s presence at birth

• tends to result in shorter labors with fewer complications
• reduces negative feelings about one’s childbirth experience
• reduces the need for pitocin (a labor-inducing drug), forceps or vacuum extraction and cesareans
• reduces the mother’s request for pain medication and/or epidurals

San Diego Birth Network have Birth Doula's that service all areas of San Diego County. North San Diego County, South San Diego County and Temecula Valley

"I felt like I gave myself completely, I used my mind, words, emotions and entire body to help soothe and relax her." Rachel Harris, Birth Doula
