We’ve been saying this, happy to see the studies backing it up!

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

This. Right. Here. A determined mama and a supportive partner helping her every step of the way. The word perseverance comes to mind. This mama labored for days, her mental and physical fortitude positively unwavering. What an HONOR it was to walk with them in this journey!🤍

Please contact your local Senator Larry Stutts and let him know how you feel about this. This is essentially saying yes we can deliver at home with a midwife BUT they will not be able to do any newborn screenings or assessments. This means you’ll have to leave your home, which you didn’t want to do, with your teeny tiny baby and your body that has just fought its own war. Come on man, let the midwives do what they’re trained to do 😐

Today I learned a cesarean can be a redemptive birth too🫶🏼 Strange how you don’t realize some things until you see it up close. How grateful I am for growth!☀️

The collaborative care I witnessed early this morning at Southern Tennessee Regional Health System Lawrenceburg from every one of us in the room was astounding. I watched as a midwife rearranged a room with her nurse to accommodate a laboring mother nearing the end of her labor. I watched as we all encouraged and guided mom. I watched us ALL support her how SHE needed. I watched mom dig deep within herself and bring this baby into the world happily, JOYFULLY. Still processing but in the most wonderful way possible because it was just a beautiful, almost other worldly experience that I cannot believe I was able to be part of. Congratulations to the sweet new family and to the workers who are actively creating a safe space for mom and changing birth outlook!☀️🫶🏼
