What is a Birth Doula?

A Birth Doula (also known as a Labour Doula) is a trained professional who stays with you throughout your labour and birth, providing non-medical emotional, physical, and informational support. Unlike doctors or nurses, who focus on medical needs, a doula focuses solely on you — keeping you calm, confident, and comfortable while guiding your partner to support you in the best ways possible.
