Women in Childbirth - Become A Doula!
A dou-WHAT, you may ask?
A doula, also known as a labor
assistant, is someone who supports women during birth. Studies have
shown that the presence of a doula can decrease the rate of
c-sections by 50% and shorten the length of labor by 25%.
It’s amazing what a little support can do!
Come to an ALACE training workshop in
Los Angeles on April 21-23, 2006 if you are interested in becoming a
professional doula, interested in midwifery, or just want to learn
about birthing! ALACE, the Association of Labor Assistants and
Childbirth Educators, is one of the oldest and most respected doula
training organizations in the country.
