Who needs a Doula?
Everyone! The postpartum period is a difficult time, whether you've done it before or not, and support makes it an easier and better experience.
People who I especially recommend have a Doula:
- Single parents
- Parents expecting multiples
- Parents with a history of postpartum depression
- Families with disabilities
- African-American parents (black people have the highest rates of maternal and infant mortality)
- Parents with limited parental leave
