The United States suffers from an increasing rate of severe maternal morbidity, paired with a wide disparity in maternal health by race. Doulas are posited to be a useful resource to increase positive outcomes and to decrease this disparity.

Doulas provide vital support during childbirth, offering emotional and physical guidance that can greatly enhance the birthing experience. Doulas help reduce anxiety, encourage informed decision-making, and contribute to better outcomes for both parents and babies.

One of the five founders of DONA International, Dr. John Kennell’s quote reminds us that if a doula were a necessary medication, it would be unethical not to use it. This analogy underscores that the benefits of having a doula are so significant that their presence should be considered essential.

Unfortunately, many women face barriers to even receiving those medications that could help them during labor AND the essential support that doulas provide. This shouldn't be the case—everyone deserves access to both doula care and appropriate medical interventions.

Let’s advocate for the integration of doula care in maternity services, ensuring every family has access to this important support and all the resources they need for a positive birth experience.

After what this home has just gone through, nothing can be more accurate!

The doula and birth coaching services market is set to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.2% in 2023-2030, an increase from US$22.3 billion to US$36.29 billion!

Doulas are in high demand!💪🏽

But why? This growth is being driven by a growing preference for natural and holistic birthing experiences because of the increasing awareness of its benefits. Additionally, the growing emphasis on and importance of maternal mental health and overall well-being underscores the need for the emotional support that doulas provide.

If you were thinking about becoming a doula and following this incredibly rewarding career path, now is the time and this is your sign!

When you become a doula, you don’t just join a profession, you join a community - a community of individuals committed to creating beautiful and safe birthing experiences for everyone, a community where resources and knowledge are shared, and a community who understands both the difficult days and the best ones.
