Don't just take my word for it, here is something
you probably don't know about what the research says
on the benefits of a doula... You see, there have been several studies,articles and books written about doula support.
What it all boils down to is the most famous

"A doula can also enhance the satisfaction of the birthing mother
with her birth, her partner, heighten self esteem
and bonding with the baby, increase breastfeeding success,
reduce feeding problems, and has even been shown
to bolster the father's involvement during birth,
and heighten satisfaction with the birth.
