What you can expect at your birth from hiring a doula:
A shorter and less complicated labor, some of the current stats show that mothers with doulas
had:
 50% less likelihood of having a caesarean section
 60% less likely to request an epidural
 40% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to speed up labor
 34% less likely to rate their childbirth experience as a negative one
Infant bonding between mother and child has also found to be improved, as babies tend to
breastfeed easier with a doulas direction and overall health of the baby is found to be better.
At Being Present Doulas we:
 Recognize birth as a rite of passage and a key experience that the mother will remember
her whole life. As this is the case we aim for a safe and satisfying birth experience for
every mother, whether it is in a hospital or an at home birth.
 We understand the physiology of birth and are sensitive to the emotional and physical
needs of a woman in labor.
 We assist the woman in preparing for her birth by sourcing any information she may
need, as well as helping her to create a birth plan.
 We provide continuous emotional support and physical comfort measures during labor
and assist the woman and partner in staying informed about the development of their
labor and their options.
 We uphold an objective viewpoint and help the mother get the information she needs
to make informed decisions concerning possible interventions and the benefits and risks
surrounding those interventions should one possibly need to take place.
 We facilitate communication between the laboring woman, her partner and her clinical
care providers.
