The Value of Continuous Labor Support
Journal Title: Women's Health Science Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Many maternal health specialists and patients are unfamiliar with the benefits of continuous labor support from a doula. This article reviews the medical, interpersonal, and economic benefits of continuous doula care. A case presentation of a doula-supported birth is discussed in detail, and a review of relevant, outcome-based literature is provided in order to improve understanding of this important area of maternal healthcare. Practitioners are recommended to partner with public health organizations to promote increased access to continuous doula labor support for expectant mothers.
