FAQs
1. What is a doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support throughout the entire childbirth process, from before birth to after childbirth. Unlike a medical provider, a doula does not perform clinical tasks; instead, they help ensure you feel supported, heard, and empowered throughout your journey.
2. How is a doula different from a midwife?
Midwives are healthcare providers who deliver babies and perform medical care. Doulas do not provide medical care but focus on comfort, advocacy, education, and emotional support for both the birthing person and their family.
