A Doula provides continuous emotional and practical support, for mothers and couples, through pregnancy, birth and immediately postpartum, also providing flexible practical and emotional support postnatally for new mothers and families in their own homes. Doulas are usually experienced women and mothers who have undertaken a doula preparation course. Doulas support families from all ethnic, religious, social backgrounds, including couples and single parents, same sex parents, low-income families and executives, students, lawyers, midwives and doctors, etc. Doulas spend time building a relationship with the families they are supporting. They offer space and time for parents to discuss and reflect upon their own situation, their needs, past experiences and options in childbirth to enable them to move towards a positive experience. Doulas are not there to take the place of the family or partner during a birth, unless parental choice, circumstances or cultural pressures mean that the mother’s partner is unable to be with her during labour and birth. Doulas do not take a clinical role, they work alongside their client’s care providers, supporting clients in their own choices. At all times a doula is led only by her client’s wishes and does not make specific recommendations, though may signpost to evidence-based resources and information.

Mother’s helps can be live in or live out and usually command lower salaries than a nanny.
