Today is the start of World Doula Week!
Bringing awareness to the World as to the importance of Doulas.
John Kendall, pediatrician and founder of Doulas of North America International is well known for the quote,
"If Doulas were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it"
This simple yet powerful sentence summarizes his perception of the importance of labor and postpartum support. Something statistics, numerous studies along with many women and families will attest to.
Dr. Kennell’s long time colleagues, Dr. Karen Olness, published a book on his early research on mother-baby dyads. In it, she shares Dr. Kennell’s own account of how a medical student’s decision to follow her instincts and break the research study’s protocol led to the discovery of the value of labor support and worldwide usage of the term “doula.”
Dr. Kendall along with his friend Dr Marshall Klaus changed the way mother's and babies were treated in the hospital, stressing the importance of keeping mother's and babies together and good labor and postpartum support.
Every mother, every family deserves the knowledge and nurturing support that a trained and professional Doula can provide to New and Growing Families!
