The Doulas

Más información sobre el libro

A Doula is a pregnancy caregiver, who offers non-medical support before, during and after a pregnancy, no matter the outcome; whether it results in birth, abortion, miscarriage or foetal anomaly. Despite the growing awareness of doulas, no book yet exists that explores the history, philosophy, and practice of these caregivers for the general public. The Doulas is the first book to discuss this topic in an accessible non-fiction book, integrating anecdotes and memoir, as well as contextualising the movement within the larger scope of pregnancy care and reproductive rights.
