Why hire a Birth Support Person?
That overall, continuous support during birth leads to a:
-
25% decrease in the risk of Cesarean; the largest effect was seen with a doula (39% decrease) *
-
8% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth; the largest effect was seen with a doula (15% increase) *
-
10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief; the type of person providing continuous support did not make a difference
-
Shorter labors by 41 minutes on average; there is no data on if the type of person providing continuous support makes a difference
-
38% decrease in the baby’s risk of a low five-minute Apgar score; there is no data on if the type of person providing continuous support makes a difference
-
31% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience; this risk was reduced with continuous support provided by a doula or someone in their social network (family or friend), but not hospital staff
The rate of special care nursery admissions was no different between people who received continuous support and those who received usual care.

Doulas are not medical professionals, and in general, the following tasks are not performed by doulas:
-
They do not perform clinical tasks such as cervical exams or fetal heart monitoring.
-
They do not give medical advice or diagnose conditions.
-
They do not make decisions for the client (medical or otherwise).
-
They do not pressure the birthing person into certain choices just because that’s what they prefer.
-
They do not take over the role of the partner.
-
They do not catch the baby.
-
They do not typically change shifts (although some doulas may call in their back-up after 12-24 hours; and some volunteer doulas may take assigned shifts).
