Pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum articles for parents, doulas, lactation consultants, and other perinatal care providers.
Whether you've just completed your initial OB visit or are narrowing down options at a local birthing center, the term "Doula" is likely to come up. Finding a doula near you can make all the difference in your birth and postpartum experience.
A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the US take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression (Klaus et al., 2012; Martin et al., 2015).
As of December 2023, you could potentially use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for doula services, and you can easily match with Doulas who accept HSA and FSA in under 30 seconds on Bornbir. Below are three things to consider.
