Better Birth Doula - Central Coast

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to pregnant women and their partners before, during, and after childbirth. Doulas are not medical professionals and do not provide medical care, but they can help women navigate the healthcare system and advocate for their preferences during childbirth.

Research shows that having a doula present during childbirth can lead to shorter labors, fewer interventions, and a more positive birth experience. Doulas provide continuous support and can help women cope with pain and anxiety during labor. They also offer guidance and education on birth options and postpartum care, and can help partners feel more involved and confident during the birth process.
