Doulas Improve Birth Outcomes

"Childbirth is not the time to tough it out. The research is overwhelming: we do better when we have companionship and support. Choose a midwife who can provide this and/or look for a doula to complement your maternity care. And, don’t forget the often overlooked postpartum period. You may need more help then than during the birth. Be kind to yourself." ~Peggy O'Mara
