They are good: A doula is trained in childbirth processes and are there to provide emotional, physical, and educational support to a woman who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's purpose is to help women have a memorable and empowering birthing experience. To be a coach, if you will. We can all use a doula in life!
