What is a doula?

This is a short film I made with Anna Van Wagoner for the Cape Fear Area Doulas who played it at their booth at the Birth Expo here in Wilmington.

We don't have this word 'Doula' in the UK. I never heard it before.I'm not sure if we even have that position. The Midwife would take care of everything.

Doulas are not trained in "'natural home delivery'" as my video explains. Doulas are trained to assist a woman pre-natally, in labor and post-partum not to deliver babies.

Cornbruiser, learn the facts before you tell people doulas are unsafe. Doulas and midwives do not perform the same functions--doulas DON'T SUPERVISE BIRTH.
The only possible way that a doula that was doing her job could have injured a baby would be if she dropped it, which could happen to anyone (even trained obstetricians).

I posted this on my MySpace page to explain exactly what I do and why it's beneficial to have a doula. Thanks for speaking so highly of us.
