Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Doulas are trained professionals who provide emotional and physical support to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They are likely to arrive at a pregnant woman's home during early labor and later work alongside hospital staff to help the woman have a positive childbirth experience. Birthing coaches and neonatal support teams may also be present during labor and delivery, but the term "doula" specifically refers to a trained professional who provides continuous support to the woman during labor and childbirth. Physicians' assistants are medical professionals who assist physicians with patient care, but they are not typically involved in the delivery of babies.
