Frequently Asked Questions
A doula is a trained birth support professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. Unlike a doctor or midwife, a doula does not perform medical procedures but instead focuses on comfort measures, pain relief techniques, and emotional guidance to help parents feel more confident and supported.
- A midwife is a medical professional who assists with labor, delivers babies, and handles medical care.
- A doula is a non-medical support person who provides comfort techniques, advocacy, and emotional support.
Many people hire both a midwife and a doula for comprehensive birth support.
Yes! Postpartum doulas assist new parents with breastfeeding, newborn care, emotional recovery, and adjusting to life with a baby. They provide overnight care, meal prep, and self-care guidance to help parents recover after birth.
Absolutely! Doulas support all types of births, including:
- Natural, unmedicated births
- Epidural-assisted labors
- Cesarean sections (offering emotional support during surgery and recovery)
Doulas charge between $800 and $2,500, depending on their experience and services. Some insurance plans offer partial reimbursement, and some hospitals provide free doula services.
