“I’m Here for You”. Doula Support in Childbirth
Željka Jelavić
; Etnografski muzej, Zagreb
Sažetak
The author analyzes the role of a doula as a supporter of the birthing mother and an assistant in childbirth. Doula support is a newer practice associated with institutional and home births and has been developing and expanding over the last decade and a half. The role of a doula is to inform, educate, and provide emotional support during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Doulas engage in intimate work that involves moving between institutional and personal boundaries.
