Understanding Doulas and ChildbirthWomen, Love, and Advocacy /[electronic resource] :by Cheryl A. Hunter, Abby Hurst. - 1st ed. 2016. - IX, 140 p.online resource.

1. Childbirth, Women, and Doulas -- 2. Nurses, Families, and Doulas: An Overview of Different Roles in Childbirth -- 3. Birthing with Doulas: The Embodied Birth Experience -- 4. Love and Advocacy in Childbirth -- 5. Conclusion .

This book contextualizes how having a doula, or labor-support woman, present during childbirth results in lower rates of medical interventions. American women are inundated with views that childbirth is inherently risky, their bodies deficient, and therefore encouraged to accept the medicalized nature of childbirth resulting in high rates of unwarranted interventions that can pose significant risk in a normal pregnancy. Why is birthing with a doula different? The narratives in this book support the belief that doulas often question the high rates of medical interventions in childbirth, fundamentally lodging a critique about the medicalization of childbirth to the women they serve. These stories share a very different philosophy about childbirth; one where the female body is capable, resilient, and not normally requiring external medical intervention. Doulas enter into a care-provider relationship that focuses on the experience of the birth as something transformative, to be honored and centered on the woman’s body in an active role in the process. Lastly, doulas model to their clients both love and advocacy because doulas believe that modeling these behaviors will translate as women become mothers through the process of childbirth. .
