Doula Services Pembroke Pines
What
is a Doula?
Welcome to Blissful Mommy and our Doula Services in Pembroke Pines. Now
we know a lot of you have been hearing about doulas from magazines, TV shows
and especially celebrities that have been making this traditional form of
natural childbirth to your attention. The fact of the matter is that doulas
have been around for many, many years. The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek definition "a woman who
serves." Today, the word is used to specify an experienced and
certified professional
who administers continuous emotional, physical and informational support to the
mother before, during and after birth; the definition also includes a person who provides emotional and
positive support and reinforcement during the postpartum period.
Studies have been conducted that show that when doulas attend the birth, labors are shorter with
fewer difficulties, babies are healthier and they breastfeed easily.
Role of a Doula
- Recognizes birth as a key experience the mother will remember all her life.
- Understands the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor.
- Assists the woman in preparing for and carrying out her plans for birth.
- Stays with the woman throughout the labor.
- Provides emotional support, physical comfort measures and an objective viewpoint, as well as helping the woman get the information she needs to make informed decision.
- Facilitates communication between the laboring woman, her partner and her clinical care providers.
- Perceives her role as nurturing and protecting the woman's memory of the birth experience.
- Allows the woman's partner to participate at his/her comfort level.
