The Benefits of Doula Support: Insights from Evidence Based Birth®
The journey of childbirth is a profound and transformative experience. For many expectant parents, navigating this journey can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. One increasingly popular resource for support during this time is a doula. According to Evidence Based Birth®, the presence of a doula can significantly enhance the childbirth experience, providing numerous benefits to both the birthing person and their family. In this blog post, we'll explore the evidence-based benefits of doula support and how it can make a difference in your childbirth journey.
What is a Doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a birthing person before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Unlike medical professionals, doulas do not perform clinical tasks but focus on supporting the birthing person's emotional and physical needs.
Evidence-Based Benefits of Doula Support
- Reduced Interventions: Research from Evidence Based Birth® shows that continuous support from a doula can significantly reduce the likelihood of various medical interventions. Studies have found that people who receive doula support are:
- 39% less likely to have a Cesarean section.
- 15% more likely to have a spontaneous vaginal birth.
- 10% less likely to use pain medication.
- These reductions in medical interventions can lead to a more positive and empowering birth experience.
- Shorter Labor: The presence of a doula has been associated with shorter labor durations. Evidence indicates that continuous support during labor can reduce the length of time spent in labor by an average of 41 minutes. This can result in less exhaustion for the birthing person and a smoother overall labor process.
- Positive Birth Experience: Doulas provide consistent emotional support, which can enhance the birthing person's overall sense of satisfaction with their birth experience. Evidence Based Birth® highlights that people who receive doula support are more likely to rate their childbirth experience positively. This emotional support can also contribute to a lower risk of postpartum depression.
- Improved Outcomes for Babies: The benefits of doula support extend beyond the birthing person to the baby as well. Research shows that babies born to parents who receive continuous support from a doula are less likely to have low five-minute Apgar scores, which are indicators of a newborn's health. Additionally, these babies are more likely to breastfeed successfully.
- Empowerment and Confidence: Doulas provide critical informational support, helping birthing persons understand their options and make informed decisions about their care. This empowerment can increase confidence and reduce anxiety during childbirth. With a doula by their side, parents often feel more in control and capable of advocating for themselves and their baby.
- Support for Partners: Childbirth can be a daunting experience for partners as well. Doulas offer guidance and support to partners, helping them to be more involved and effective during labor and delivery. This support can strengthen the bond between the couple and create a more cohesive support system for the birthing person.
The benefits of doula support, as highlighted by Evidence Based Birth®, are compelling and wide-ranging. From reducing medical interventions and shortening labor to enhancing the overall birth experience and improving outcomes for both the birthing person and the baby, doulas play a crucial role in the childbirth process. If you're considering adding a doula to your birth team, the evidence suggests that their presence can make a significant and positive impact on your journey to parenthood.
By investing in doula support, you are investing in a smoother, more empowered, and fulfilling childbirth experience.
