?If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.
John H. Kennell, MD?
Honey
Bump Maternity would like to share with the public, the wonderful
service and support that Doulas provide during such a life changing
event such as childbirth. We believe that every woman deserves the right
to birth their baby in the methods and ways that they feel is best for
them. Doulas provide the care, support, and knowledge to help women
accomplish their birthing goals. This is the knowledge that we want to
help spread throughout Utah.
Doula
is a greek word meaning ?Woman who serves? and is now commonly used to
describe a women who is trained and experienced in birth support. A
doula provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support
to the mother before, during and just after birth. Studies have shown
that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer
complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.
Having a doula present for birth has many physical and psychological
benefits for the mother, her partner, and her baby.
Studies
have shown that when a doula is present at a birth, the use of epidural
anesthesia is lessened by up to 60%. Doulas have also been shown to
shorten the length of a mother?s birth, as well as increase her chances
of having a vaginal birth. Mothers who use doulas for their births, have
a better view of their birth experiences and fewer cases of postpartum
depression.
With
the alarming rate of c-sections and other birth interventions and
complications in the United States, doulas everywhere are actively
seeking to expand the knowledge of what doulas are and how they have
such a positive impact on birth. In order to help couples prepare for a
beautiful birth experience, The Utah Doula Association and Honey Bump
Maternity are offering a free "Meet the Doulas Night." This event is
open to the public, whether you are pregnant, know someone who is
pregnant, or planning to become pregnant. The Meet the Doulas Night will
be held on June 18th at 5:30pm at Honey Bump Maternity: 1155 N. Main Suite 4 Layton, UT.
