I believe that every woman should have a labor support person at the birth of their child, if they so wish. Therefore, I offer my services to any who want a childbirth assistant, one who can provide comfort, support & encouragement at this very important time in your life.
My fee is negotiable.. . . . . . that could mean "free" !!
Doulas are ones educated in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum issues (such as breastfeeding)
whom provide informational, emotional and physical support throughout pregnancy,
labor, childbirth and the early postpartum period.
Statistics show that Doulas have considerably positive effects on labor such as:
50% reduction in the cesarean rate
25% shorter labor
60% reduction in epidural requests
40% reduction in oxytocin use
30% reduction in analgesia use
40% reduction in forceps delivery

help you have a shorter, easier, and healthier birth.
