Doing it differently the second time around!

by Kelly Sunshine | Jun 28, 2013 | Delivery Photos, Families, Options, Unmedicated Birth, Water Birth

One of the most amazing benefits of being a doula is watching a mama have a second birth experience completely different than her first! I was privileged to be the doula for this incredible mom who had a hospital birth with her first little girl just 23 months ago....

Benefits of a Doula!

The benefits of having a doula are many. The following study shows that the presence of a doula positively impacts your birth experience.

Look closely at these amazing results!

50% reduction in cesarean rate
25% shorter labor
60% reduction in epidural requests
40% reduction in Pitocin use
30% reduction in analgesia use
40% reduction in forceps delivery

(These statistics appear in Mothering the Mother: How a Doula Can Help You Have a Shorter, Easier, and Healthier Birth by Klaus, Kennell, and Klaus (1993)
