Doula Service Pembroke Pines
What is a Doula?
"Doula" is a word that stemmed from the Greek word, which means "a woman who
serves." Now, "doula" refers to an experienced, highly trained, and
certified professional, that provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to new
moms before, during and after the birth of their child; or a person who is
committed to providing emotional and
practical support during the postpartum period.
Studies have been conducted that show that when doulas attend births, labor is shorter with
fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.
