Doulas (ba mu in Vietnamese), or birth companions, provide physical and emotional support to women during childbirth. Their presence is associated with numerous benefits including decreased rates of cesarean section and other medical interventions, increased rates of breastfeeding, shorter labors, and greater satisfaction with the birthing experience. Doulas help reduce pain and anxiety through massage, positioning advice, and other comfort measures. They also provide informational support by explaining procedures and helping women make informed choices about their care.
