Doula - A Birth Doula is a specially trained
birth professional that provides physical and
emotional support  and education to a woman
and her partner during labor and delivery of
the baby; offering the use of comfort measures
to ease birth.

Clinical studies have shown that having
a Birth Doula present at birth, often
results in shorter labor with fewer
complications; reduces the need for
medications; reduces the need for use
of forceps or vaccum extractor; reduces
the need for C-section; and results in a
more successful family unit, with the
parents having more self-confidence
and the mom having less post-partum
depression.
Una Doula  (Ayudante Tradicional de
Parto)- es una asistente de parto profesional
que provee el apoyo fisico, emocional y
educacion a la madre y su pareja durante el
parto y nacimiento del bebe; por usando
maneras a relejarse como masaje y otra cosas.

Los estudios clinicos demostraron que
cuando una Doula asiste con el parto y
nacimiento, el parto esta mas corto con
menos complicaciones; necesidades
menos para medicamentos o el uso de
forceps; menos chanza necesitar el
cesareo y tiene la chanza mejororar la
familia mas exito, porque los padres
sienten mas auto-confianza y la madre
tiene menos de tristeza post-parto.
