QUE ES UNA DOULA
Doula es una palabra de origen griego que significa "mujer que sirve". Hoy en día, una doula se refiere a un compañero de parto, un profesional capacitado que brindará el apoyo emocional, físico e informativo antes, durante y después del parto. Una doula no cubre las necesidades médicas durante el trabajo de parto, pero las investigaciones muestran que las mujeres necesitan menos intervenciones médicas cuando tienen una doula a su lado.
