It´s world doula week!
The World Doula Week initiative started in Israel as the first Doula Day which took place on March 22, 2011. World Doula Week begins with World Doula Day on March 22nd and will go through March 28th annually. March 22 was chosen because it is the spring equinox, which represents the return of fertility in countless cultures. Some of the benefits of the presence of doulas in birth and in the postpartum period:

Reduces the incidence of c-sections
May shorten the length of labor
Reduces epidural and analgesic requests
Increases breastfeeding initiation and continuation
Increases mother’s satisfaction of birth experience
Can reduce the incidence of postpartum mood disorders
Increases new parents’ confidence in the care of their newborn

Every woman deserves a doula!
