Under the quandary.....I will say it ain't so! It was believed that a Doula was only hired to support women who decided to have unmedicated births. In today's day and age most Doula's like myself will agree with this quote- "I do not care what kind of birth you have... a homebirth, scheduled cesarean, epidural hospital birth, or if you birth alone in the woods next to a deer. I care that you had options, that you were supported in your choices and that you were respected" -Ja
