Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A doula is a non-medical birth companion who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to women before, during, and after childbirth. While a midwife has formal medical training and can provide medical care during childbirth, a doula focuses on providing emotional support and advocating for the mother's choices and preferences during the birthing process. Sherpas are mountain guides, and shamans are traditional healers, neither of which are related to assisting with childbirth.
