At Mumatopia, we feel that cost should never be a factor in whether a woman gets the support she needs in birth.
We know from studies that “women cared for during labor by a birth doula, compared to those receiving usual care were
- 26% less likely to give birth by cesarean section
- 41% less likely to give birth with a vacuum extractor or forceps
- 28% less likely to use any analgesia or anesthesia
- 33% less likely to be dissatisfied or negatively rate their birth experience”
*From DONA International’s Position Paper on Birth Doulas.
DONA International’s mantra is “A doula for every woman who wants one” and at Mumatopia, we want to turn that vision, into reality. If you know someone who is experiencing financial hardship, but would like a doula at their birth, or you’d like to donate to the project, please contact Cas on 0438 898 706 or cas@mumatopia.com.
