Birth Doula

 

Hiring an experienced Doula may seem expensive but its benefits are immeasurable.  At present almost 30% of pregnancies end in Caesarean Section.  Caesarean section is major abdominal surgery and should be avoided if possible.  Good preparation coupled with hiring a Doula is well known to reduce the need for surgery and definitely makes a better start for mother and baby.
