May is International doula Month
The goal of International Doula Month is to showcase the impact that doulas around the world have on the social, emotional, physiological, and psychological health of a family dyad during the perinatal period. The perinatal period includes everything from conception to postpartum.
Doulas are non-medical professionals who provide families with continuous hands-on, informational, and emotional support throughout the perinatal period.
