I often get asked, whats the different between a Midwife and a Doula, this is a great explanation!
Doulas do NOTHING medical.
Doulas offer Physical, emotional and informational support.

Your midwife is not your doula, but many women hire a midwife and expect her to be one.

This doesn't mean she won't hold your hand, encourage you through a contraction, help you find a more comfortable position, or remind you just how capable you are. She will do that many times throughout your labor.

But her primary responsibility is to monitor your well-being and your baby's, assess how labor is progressing, recognize complications, and make clinical decisions when needed.

And that is a BIG responsibility that requires her full attention. Even the most attentive, loving midwife cannot be in two places at once or give uninterrupted hands-on support while simultaneously attending to every clinical responsibility.

Your doula has a different role. She's there to offer continuous support throughout labor. She can help you navigate the intensity, suggest comfort measures, offer reassurance, support your partner, and help you feel informed, heard, and cared for.

Our roles are complementary, not interchangeable.

If you have considered hiring a doula but haven't, consider this your sign.

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

Doulas cannot guarantee birth outcomes, no one can.

However, research shows that working with a doula reduces the likelihood of a c-section.

Some c-sections are absolutely medically indicated. But based on our high c-section rates, we know that many are not medically necessary.

A meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology stated:

"Pregnant patients supported by doulas services are 68% less likely to undergo CD than those receiving standard prenatal care, more likely to have IAVD, and have no difference in epidural rates. Additional research is needed to elucidate the impact of doula services on neonatal outcomes. Nonetheless, doula support services represent a promising intervention to decrease the high rates of caesarean section in the United States."

A 68% reduced risk of c-section is absolutely statistically significant. It means compared to those without doula support, they are less likely to have a c-section (some will still have medically necessary ones or even opt for elective).

When a c-section does occur even with doula support, many parents report having a better understanding of why it became necessary AND feel more like they were active participants in the decision-making process.
