How your family benefits:

Your partner and family will be eased from extra work involved in providing needed physical comfort during labor and infant care after birth. If you have prolonged labor, the doula plays an important role in assisting in areas that do not detract from letting your family concentrate completely on giving you needed emotional support and care. Because you will be very tired after birth, the doula serves as an interim supporter for you and your partner during the stressful time of changes that come about from a newborn infant. The services of your doula make this transition easier and more restful for all.
