Abstract
All women should be allowed and encouraged to bring a loved one, friend, or doula to their birth without financial or cultural barriers.

This article is an updated evidence-based review of the "Lamaze International Care Practices that Promote Normal Birth, Care Practice #3: Continuous Labor Support," published in The Journal of Perinatal Education, 16(3), 2007.Entities:
