Looking Glass Birth Education and Support for a Better Beginning

"To understand what is happening, and work towards woman-centred care, we need to do more than think ‘outside the box’. We need to think about the box itself and take a critical look at the accepted norms and the messages being transmitted to women as they become mothers. Being able to see what lies beneath cultural messages helps women to make conscious decisions about whether to accept or reject those messages. Understanding the current birth culture is also essential for care providers if they want to contribute to change."

What exactly does a birth doula do?

A birth doula’s client determines the doula’s role based on the client’s needs, and every client will have different needs. A birth doula might help clients explore their options during pregnancy and labor, provide some basic education on labor and birth or lactation, offer emotional support and comfort techniques to a person during labor, or help a client with latching their baby for a feed in the first few hours after their birth.

A doula can be beneficial in helping a client navigate the choices available to them and in learning how to communicate and negotiate with their care provider to have the birth experience they want. For some people that means using comfort techniques to manage their birth without medical intervention, while for others it means planning the right time to have an epidural or planning a cesarean birth. A doula can also support the client’s partner, family, and friends, helping them to identify their needs and take as active a role as they want.
