What’s the Difference Between a Midwife and a Doula?
What is the difference between a midwife and a doula? Actually a lot. Although their ideologies often align in a more natural, hands off approach to birth, their jobs are very different. A midwife is in charge of the healthcare side while a doula is the birthing woman’s helper and coach. A doula can help to physically relieve contraction pain, emotionally give encouragement, and so much more.
