If you ask around many people do not know what a Doula is or does. A Doula is generally a woman that is trained or experienced in helping women who are about to give birth. They are known as prenatal Doulas and help before the birth and possibly during the birth. There are also Postpartum Doula’s who help after birth has been giving.

Studies have been conducted that show Doula’s can help lead to shorter labor times. Many women turn to the help of a Doula during birth because of this stat.

Many people get them confused with midwives but that should not be the case as in many countries Doula’s are not recognized as medical professionals and in some Doula’s practice without any training or schooling. Midwives have to go through many different forms of training and education to be able to practice. There are many schools that offer Doula Certification programs in attempt to provide them with better training and experience.
