| Research has shown that having a Doula alongside you during the birth process can lead to:
50% reduction of caesarean rate
60% reduction in epidural request
30% reduction in analgesia used
40% reduction in forceps delivery
Findings from "Mothering the Mother" Klaus, Kennell & Klaus, 1993
Here are some vital statistics:
Kennell J, Klaus M, McGrath S, Robertson S, Hinkley C. JAMA 1991 May 1;265(17):2197-201
6 weeks after birth, mothers who had doulas were:
Less anxious and depressed
Had more confidence with baby
More satisfied with partner (71% vs 30%)
More likely to be breastfeeding (52% vs. 29%)
These statistics appear in “A Doula Makes the Difference” by Nugent in Mothering Magazine
