doula

Doula (from Greek word doulē meaning female slave) is a non-medically trained person who supports you during your pregnancy, labour or birth and beyond. They are trained and experienced in birth support in a non-medical role, but usually have a good knowledge and awareness of the medical birth process. A doula offers emotional and physical support for the mom and dad and also has a keen eye and intuition on the labouring needs of the mother.
