Feel Confident, Supported, and Prepared for Birth & Beyond
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone.
Having a birth doula isn’t just comforting. Research shows that continuous, compassionate support during labor leads to better outcomes for both parent and baby — physically and emotionally.
Benefits of
Birth Doula Support
Studies show that having a birth doula can significantly reduce medical interventions during labor, including:
31% decrease in the use of synthetic oxytocin
10% reduction in anesthesia use
39% lower rate of cesarean births
Doula support is also associated with:
Shorter labors
Higher APGAR scores for newborns
Increased satisfaction with the birth experience
A large 2017 study found that continuous labor support — like that provided by a birth doula — leads to:
Greater confidence and satisfaction during birth
Reduced use of pain medication
Fewer cesarean deliveries
Improved outcomes for newborns
Having a doula isn’t just comforting—it statistically leads to better outcomes for both mom and baby

Happy Clients
Read what clients have to say about Eastside Birth Collective Doulas
“Aleah is amazing! As a first-time mom, I was feeling overwhelmed, but meeting with her before birth really put my mind at ease. She helped me feel comfortable by breaking down my worries and turning them into solid, thoughtful plans—which made my final weeks of pregnancy genuinely enjoyable. During labor, she was incredibly intuitive and seemed to know what I needed before I even asked. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

“I had a home birth, and when Aleah arrived in early active labor she instantly transformed my birthing space into a calm vibe with all the things she brought! This birth was my third, I had my in-laws staying at my house watching my kids, and she made sure the chaos stayed outside so I could relax and focus on what mattered. I recommend Aleah to anyone looking for a birth doula in the Bellevue area”
