O que significa "doula"?

A palavra "doula" vem do grego e significa "mulher que serve". Hoje em dia, aplica-se às mulheres que dão suporte físico e emocional às outras mulheres durante a gravidez, no trabalho de parto e parto.

Como é o trabalho da doula?

Durante a gravidez a doula ajuda a mulher e o casal a prepararem-se para o parto.

Durante o parto a doula dá suporte físico e emocional. As pesquisas mostram que a presença da doula no parto pode:
- diminuir em 20% a duração do trabalho de parto
- diminuir em 60% os pedidos de anestesia
- diminuir em 40% o uso da oxitocina
- diminuir em 40% o uso de fórceps.

Após o parto, dá apoio especialmente em relação à amamentação e cuidados com o bebé.

A doula não é conselheira,
não faz juízos morais,
não projecta valores pessoais.
A doula estimula o senso crítico da mãe.
A doula ajuda a despertar uma consciência.
Não somos uma muleta, somos uma companheira num caminho.
Não damos o peixe, mas podemos ajudar a construir uma cana de pesca.
Compete a nós Doulas, não deixarmos que façam de nós muletas. Nunca permitir que a nossa presença seja motivo para perda de poder pessoal, mas pelo contrário sempre motivo para o fortalecimento desse poder da mulher que acompanhamos
Estar ao lado, não tomar decisões pela outra pessoa, mas participar no seu processo transformativo, estar presente, ouvir, dar pistas, mas sobretudo ouvir, porque às vezes basta a uma pessoa permitir-se ter voz e ter um eco da sua própria voz, para encontrar as suas respostas.
Palavras da Doula Carla Guiomar

“Our world is a reflection of the beliefs we hold…and affirmations can be a useful tool in helping us to change these beliefs…if you find you have fears and concerns about birthing your baby, using affirmations can help to dispel these. Even if you are feeling wonderful and positive, they can only add to what is already inside of you…all power to you for a joyous birth!” www.labouroflove.org.

Birth is a safe and wonderful experience..
I know my baby feels our calmness and confidence.
I trust in my ability to give birth.
My body knows exactly what it is doing.
I am confident in my ability to birth naturally, painlessly and easily.
During labour and birth, I am completely relaxed and comfortable.
I will have an uncomplicated, peaceful, joyous and pleasurable birth.
My baby is healthy.
I am completely cooperating with my body.
I will breathe deeply and slowly to relax my muscles making it easier for my uterus to work.
My body is made to give birth, nice and easy.
I believe my baby’s birth will come quickly and easily.
My body is completely relaxed.
All I need to do is relax and breathe – nothing else.
Everything is going right.
I feel the strong waves of labour and know that everything is normal and progressing.
I relax my mind and muscles.
My body knows how to have this baby just as my body knew how to grow this baby.
Keep breathing slow and even. Inhale peace, exhale tension.
Keep my mind on acceptance and surrender.
I surrender my birthing over to my baby and my body.
My body has a wide-open space for my baby to descend.
My body will give birth in its own time.
I love my baby and I am doing all that is necessary to bring about a healthy birth.
Birth is an easy and natural occurrence for which my body has been perfectly designed.
The strength of my uterine contractions is a sign of my feminine strength.
I surrender to the contractions and relinquish control of the forces within my body.
I allow my body’s natural anaesthesia to flow through my body.
The power and intensity of my contractions cannot be stronger than me, because it is me.
I am ready and prepared for childbirth.
My job is to simply relax and allow the birth to happen.
Just let my body do it; let it happen.
I see myself handling everything beautifully.
Each contraction produces a healthy, positive pain that I can handle.
Birth will go exactly as it should.

Inspirations:

If in doubt, breathe out
~ Cathy Doberska – Reading, UK NCT teacher

The power and intensity of your contractions cannot be stronger than you, because it is you.
~ Unknown

If it hurts, get off it, move it around, rub it better.
~ Barbara Kott (president of the NCT)

Just as a woman’s heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth.
~ Virginia Di Orio

The same movements that get the baby in, get the baby out
~ From Birthing From Within

You will emerge from uncertainty into great peace and freedom.
~ Unknown

The Candle
Imagine that your pelvis is a candle with a flame in the middleAs my contractions come, the flame burns brighter.My body is the wax of the candle, warming and yielding to the flame.The more I breathe, the brighter the candle burns.The wax melts and drips with each contraction.My body becomes looser and opens to the flame.I see my pelvis becoming soft and warm and pliable.I breathe. With each contraction, the candle becomes softer.I melt with the candle.My breath helps the candle burn brighter, melting quicker.I remain soft, warm, and yielding.
~ Barbara Harper “Gentle Birth Choices”

Only with trust, faith, and support can the woman allow the birth experience to enlighten and empower her.
~ Claudia Lowe

300,000 women will be giving birth with you today.Relax and breathe and do nothing else.Labor is hard work and you can do it.
~Unknown

The knowledge of how to give birth without outside intervention lies deep within each woman. Successful childbirth depends on an acceptance of the process.
~ Suzanne Arms

Focus on what you can do, then do it with all your heart.
~ Lois Wilson

You’re braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. And smarter than you think.
~ Christopher Robin in Pooh’s Grand Adventure

You are constructing your own reality with the choices you make…or don’t make. If you really want a healthy pregnancy and joyful birth, and you truly understand that you are the one in control, then you must examine what you have or haven’t done so far to create the outcome you want.
~ Kim Wildner-Mother’s Intention: How Belief Shapes Birth

A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination, prepared to be herself and only herself.
~ Maya Angelou

If I don’t know my options, I don’t have any.
~ Diana Korte

Rain, after all is only rain; it is not bad weather. So also, pain is only pain; unless we resist it, then it becomes torment.
~ the I Ching

For midwives:
“In the first place, I wish and desire all midwives
not to bee too forward, or too officious
in their undertakings, least that they disquiet
nature, whose only work it is, and I would
have them to understand, that they bee but
nature’s servants in all motion, hereafter shall
be shewed … And let all midwives bee assured,
that it is not their labours, in pulling, and
haling their women’s bodies, that causeth deliver.
But that it is the work of Dame nature…”Dr Percivall Willughby, MD (1596–1685)

You are a midwife.You are assisting at someone else’s birthDo good without show or fuss.Facilitate what is happeningrather than what you thinkought to be happening.If you must, take the lead.Lead so that the mother is helped,yet still free and in charge.When the babe is bornthe mother will rightly say,“We did it ourselves”
Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching, 5th Century B.C.
