Research shows that doula care leads to :
- Fewer cesarean births, fewer adverse maternal outcomes, and improved quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in the woman's first and subsequent births.
- People are more likely to have spontaneous vaginal births and less likely to have any pain medication, epidurals, negative feelings about childbirth, vacuum or forceps-assisted births, and Cesareans. In addition, their labors were shorter by about 40 minutes and their babies were less likely to have low Apgar scores at birth.
- Lower rates of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS)
- Both mothers and babies are statistically more likely to have better outcomes!
