I am excited to announce the addition of Kirsten James to Terra Firma Doula! While Kirsten and I have partnered together to teach childbirth classes and provide back up support for one another's doula clients, we are now partnering together in our doula support. We will still be serving our own doula clients while offering an additional support by partnering together. I ask for your patience as we make changes to the website to reflect the changes that will be going on behind the scenes.
Studies have shown that the continuous support of a Childbirth Doula greatly impacts the outcome of childbirth. Women who have a Childbirth Doula
present are:
less likely to give birth by cesarean section
less likely to use analgesia or anesthesia
less likely to give birth with vacuum extraction or forceps
less likely to have postpartum depression and anxiety
more likely to have greater satisfaction with their birth experience
more likely to have better maternal-infant interaction
more likely to have enhanced breastfeeding
