The evidence is clear: continuous support in labour — including from a doula — can significantly improve outcomes 💛
Studies have found:
• 60% reduction in epidural requests
• 50% reduction in cesarean rates
• 40% reduction in the use of forceps
• 40% reduction in the use of Pitocin
• 30% reduction in pain medication use
• 25% shorter labours
Beyond the numbers, doulas provide steady emotional support, hands-on comfort, and help families feel informed and confident throughout the process.
Because birth isn’t just about outcomes — it’s about how you feel during and after the experience.
