I plan to use medication for pain, do I still need a doula?
Although epidurals are effective relieving pain most of the time, there are things your epidural can not do for you. Your epidural will not:

  • Give you a massage
  • Provide you with information about your options
  • Get you ice chips
  • Give your partner a break
  • Be reassuring and nurturing
  • Help you with breathing
  • Help you with breastfeeding
  • Take photographs

Nothing can take the place of a comforting touch or words of encouragement. The use of a doula and an epidural can give the experience that you desire and allow you to focus on the birth of your baby.
