Tammy Leeper - Birth Doula - Los Angeles, CAFor hundreds of years, support for birthing people have been known as doulas. This word is also known as or is defined as a child birth assistant, labor support professional or birth companion. A doula supports the birthing person (and partner, if applicable) emotionally, physically, non-medically and informationally during pregnancy, labor, birth and immediately after the arrival of the newborn.

A doula does not replace the partner. Instead, the doula enhances the support of the partner so he/she/they/them can be for and support the laboring person. A doula helps to take the pressure off of the partner to facilitate and support the experience. The doula's role is to assist with the transition from being pregnant to being with baby after its journey to this world.
