As doulas, we work for you, not for your caregiver or hospital. We are each independent and self-employed. Together we form a diverse group of women who share a passion for pregnancy and the birthing process.
Who's your doula?
|
A good rapport with your doula is important to your birth experience; we support you in speaking with several doulas to find the one who's the best fit for you.
Many of us are willing to travel to communities near Corvallis, including: Albany, Alsea, Brownsville, Jefferson, Lebanon, Monmouth, Monroe, Newport, Philomath, and Sweet Home. Please call us to inquire about each doula's availability in your area. |
According to the World Health Organization's Reproductive Health Library:
Compared with usual care, the provision of continuous support to women during labor increases the likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth, reduces the duration of labor and use of analgesia and lowers the incidence of caesarean section and instrumental delivery. Moreover, fewer babies are born with a low 5-minute Apgar score and mothers express more satisfaction with the birth experience.
