The Connected Birth

05/20/2026

The evidence is CLEAR. Doulas are an essential part of the birth team. 🌸

A published study on ScienceDirect found that women who received doula care had nearly 53% lower odds of an unplanned cesarean delivery — and a 57% reduction in postpartum depression and anxiety compared to those without doula support.

🔥These are life-changing outcomes.

Having a knowledgeable, skilled doula on your birth team isn’t just about emotional support (though that matters deeply too).

It’s about having someone in your corner who knows birth, knows your options, and can anticipate your needs as the unknown unfolds.

And here’s the thing — in many states, doula care is now covered by an increasing number of insurance plans.

📣AND MOST PEOPLE DON’T EVEN KNOW THAT YET!📣

You deserve continuous, experienced support throughout your pregnancy and birth. And so does your partner.

If you’re pregnant or planning to be, this is your sign to add a doula to your birth team. 💛

It’s truly one of the most important things you can do. 💕
