What does a doula do" These 11 photos will show you
by Melissa Willets posted in Pregnancy
This week is World Doula Week. In honor of these tireless pregnancy and birth supporters, birth photography site Birth Becomes Her put together a beautiful collection of photos that answer the question, "What does a doula do""
It's a question many people may have. And moreover, what is World Doula Week" According to the WDW website, the purpose of the days following March 22, the date of the spring equinox, and which symbolizes the return of fertility in many cultures worldwide, "is to empower doulas all over the world to improve the physiological, social, emotional, and psychological health of women, newborns, and families in birth and in the postpartum period." And that, in a nutshell, is what a doula does. As Birth Becomes Her also puts it, ?Doulas are there to hold our hands, to reassure us with their words. They can suggest new positions or alleviate pain through counter-pressure and hip squeezes. Doulas laugh with us, cry with us. Doulas encourage us to find our own voice and to use it.?
Here are the photos that show exactly what a doula does, and in all settings and situations, day and night.
