Choose your Legacy doula

What is a doula?

A doula is a personal, non-medical caregiver who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to birthing families during pregnancy, labor and birth, and in the postpartum period. Doula support is recommended to improve maternity care and outcomes.

How doulas help:

• Working with a doula means you are less likely to go into pre-term labor, which is healthier for everyone.
• Having a doula by your side often results in shorter labors—by almost one hour!
• A doula can help labor feel more relaxed and calmer with less need for medications.
• Doulas help decrease the risk of needing a c-section.
• Doulas also help your support team feel better supported.

Why work with a doula?

A doula can help explain your options during your prenatal care, develop a birth plan and be by your side providing support during labor, birth, and right after delivery, too. Doulas provide support after you go home from the hospital to help you and your family adapt to life with a new baby.
