No matter what, giving birth isn't easy. But what we also know is that countless statistics show that women assisted by doulas have a far lower epidural and c-section rates, which means recovery after birth is much easier. And how can you put a price on having a highly rewarding and satisfying birth experience – which is what mothers report over and over on the overall value of having a doula. The presence of doulas is becoming increasingly commonplace, largely due to how much more comfortable women feel having other experienced women present when they’re giving birth.
