Galway Doula - Gentlebirth Instructor 2.61

Bairbre Brooke is a Doula based in Galway. Often women are nervous or even frightened about childbirth, but a Doula can help you have a more positive birthing experience, where you get to have the birth you want for you and your baby, more relaxed, confident, natural and with less pain and stress.

The more knowledge we have about the process of birth the more relaxed we feel. Bairbre will be available to aid you with any questions you may have in the lead up to the birth, as well as assisting you on the day itself (in your home and in the hospital) with many techniques such as massage and relaxation techniques.

Often we don't know what type of birth we want to experience, but generally we all want the birth to be a positive experience and having Bairbre present during your labor at home and in the hospital can help you have the birth you want.

Numerous studies have revealed the benefits of having a doula present during labor. Studies have shown that having a doula as part of the birth team
Decreases the overall cesarean rate by 50%,
The length of labor by 25%,
The use of oxytocin by 40%
The request for an epidural by 60%.

When a doula was present, women were less likely to have pain relief medications administered, less likely to have a cesarean birth, and reported having a more positive childbirth experience
