Research shows that families who receive doula support are more likely to experience shorter labors, fewer cesarean births, fewer birth complications, and greater success with breastfeeding. Most importantly, they often feel more confident, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy and birth. Research also shows between 2019 and 2021, California saw 226 pregnancy-related deaths out of 1.28 million births. For Black women, the toll was especially devastating—nearly 50 deaths for every 100,000 births, compared to 17.3 for Latinas, 14.4 for Asians, and 14.0 for Whites. Out of all babies born in California, 40% are covered by Medi-Cal. Yet, pregnancy-related deaths are 2.7 times higher. These are not just numbers. These are mothers—and sometimes their children. Whether it’s your first pregnancy or you’ve been here before, let’s make sure you have a safe pregnancy and healthy start for your baby. ———————————————————————— WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE DR.
