The word doula in Ancient Greek might mean "female servant" but it's really not a great description of the 21st century job. Doulas are birth coaches who help women get through the process of childbirth as efficiently and painlessly as possible. They aren't midwives or nurses, but they can provide an invaluable service as advocates. Learn about the deal with doulas right now!
Josh and Chuck dive into the world of doulas - those trained birth coaches who provide emotional and physical support during childbirth. They explore how this ancient practice disappeared from Western hospitals in the 20th century but made a comeback in the 80s, discussing what doulas actually do (spoiler: they don't deliver babies), how much they cost, and the surprising research showing they can make labor shorter and less stressful. Plus, they share some personal birth stories and explain how you can become a doula yourself.
