Doula is a Greek word referring to an experienced woman who helps other women. The word has now come to mean a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and just after childbirth.
Mothering the Mother, Klaus, Klaus & Kennell 1993.

The benefits of a doula have been studied. One of the largest studies carried out by Drs. John Kennell and Marshall Klaus found that labor support provided these benefits:
60% decrease in requests for epidurals
50% decrease in cesarean surgery
40% decrease in requests for pain medication
40% decrease in the use of Pitocin (Oxcytocin)
30% decrease in use of forceps
25% decrease in length of labor
