EVIDENCE ON DOULAS
RESOURCES BELOW:
Research shows significant benefits in at least two areas listed below when the laboring person had continuous support of a doula– someone who was NOT a staff member and NOT part of their social network. Overall, research found those with continuous support had:
- 25% decrease in the risk of Cesarean, largest effect seen with a doula (39% decrease)*
- 8% increase in likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth, largest effect seen with doula (15% increase)*
- 10% decreased use of meds for pain
- Shorter labor by 41 min avg
- 38% decrease in baby’s risk of low Apgar score
- 31% decrease in risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience. (http://www.evidencebasedbirth.com)
