Episode 7: Five Common Doula Myths
Ask 10 people about doulas, and you’ll likely hear at least one of the common doula myths among the responses.
Doulas are like midwives. They are only for those who plan to have an unmedicated birth. Doulas hate hospitals and doctors. The possibilities are endless.
While some of the myths may apply to some doulas because they had to start somewhere, right? There are far more doulas today that do not fit these common myths and stereotypes.
In this episode, we address five of the most common doula myths:
- I have a supportive partner; I don’t need a doula.
- Doulas are the same as midwives.
- Doulas can’t support those who choose cesarean birth.
- Doulas dislike doctors and hospitals.
- I’m not planning a natural birth, a doula won’t support me.
Join us as we explore and debunk these common doula myths!
