Dear ,

Last time, I shared with you about what a doula is.

Ngayon naman, I’ll talk about the WHY.

Bakit nga ba kailangan ng isang doula ang nanganganak?

Here are the top 5 reasons why birthers usually hire a doula:

1. Gain self-confidence and feel empowered. Doulas provide continuous emotional support that helps birthers feel more confident and empowered. They provide a comforting presence, reassurance, and encouragement throughout the birth process.

2. Have an advocate by your side. Doulas offer valuable information about various birth options, procedures, and interventions. They help birthers understand their rights and make informed decisions by providing evidence-based information. Doulas can also advocate for the birther's preferences and help facilitate effective communication with the medical team.

3. Get physical comfort and immediate management of pain during labor: Doulas are skilled in providing physical comfort measures during labor. They offer techniques such as massage, positioning suggestions, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to help manage pain and promote a more comfortable birthing experience.

4. Get support to partners: Doulas play a vital role in supporting partners as well. They help partners understand the birthing process, provide guidance on how to best support the birther, and ensure partners feel involved and empowered during labor and birth. Doulas can relieve partners by taking on certain supportive tasks, allowing them to focus on providing emotional support.

5. Experience positive birth and reduced interventions: Research suggests that having a doula present during childbirth is associated with higher rates of positive birth experiences and reduced interventions. Doulas offer continuous support, which can contribute to decreased stress, increased satisfaction, and improved outcomes for both birthers and babies.

You can enjoy these benefits when you hire a doula because your healthcare provider cannot provide for this.

Kaya kailangan ng isang espesyal na taong gagawa nito para sayo.

It's important to note that individual reasons for hiring a doula may vary, and each person's experience is unique. 

Doulas provide personalized care and support, tailoring their services to meet the specific needs and preferences of the birther and their family.

Kaya kung ako nagkaroon ng choice sa mga panahong nanganak ako, I would have gladly hired a doula.

Ikaw, if given a chance with no limitations (physical, financial, geographical, etc.)...

Magha-hire ka ba ng doula?
