Introduction: Janma Birth offers doula services, natural childbirth education and pre and post-natal yoga tailored to fit your individual needs. We serve all of northern Virginia and the metro DC area.
Having a doula has been shown to result in the following:
* 50% reduction in cesarean rates
* 25% shorter labor
* 60% reduction in epidural requests
* 40% reduction in oxytocin (pitocin) use
* 30% reduction in analgesia use
* 40% reduction in forceps delivery
The above data were taken from Mothering the Mother by Marshall H. Klaus (1993).
Avoiding these often unnecessary and costly procedures saves you money and creates a more enjoyable birth for mother and baby. I would love to help you have a great birth. Contact me today to see how I can be a part of your birth experience.
