Doula Mellie: A Maternity Lifestyle Expert
From Pregnacy to Motherhood
What Does a Doula Do?
A partner’s presence and loving support in childbirth is comforting and reassuring. A doula’s presence can be part of that partnership. Whether on your own or with the support of your partner of choice, a mother can have the best of both worlds at birth: her partner’s loving care and attention and the doula’s expertise and guidance.
Benefits of a Doula
Decreased use of analgesia and anesthesia
Lower rates of operative birth
Increased breastfeeding
Increased infant attachment
Decreased postpartum depression
Higher satisfaction of birth experience
Improved self-esteem
Increased likelihood of improved perinatal outcome
