Doulas help reduce the C-section rate by preparing expectant mothers for birth. They assist in positioning the baby optimally, help mothers move and stay comfortable during labor, teach breathing techniques, and keep the pelvic floor relaxed. Doulas are knowledgeable about the hospital system, help make informed decisions, suggest questions for the OB, and create a safe environment. This support increases the likelihood of a vaginal birth and a positive birth experience with a good recovery.
