Answers to Questions about Birth

1. How does having a mid-wife (or a Doula) reduce/relieve stress for the baby and/or the parents?

One couple said that having a Doula was great because of the fact that she explained everything and was very educated in her job. She didn't undermine them and she didn't take over the role of husband and that was important to the couple. So having a Doula or a mid-wife helps reduce the stress because they are very educated and help you out with any problems you are having.
