Supporting Women through
Pregnancy and Birth
Welcome! My name is Nicole Quinn.
Birth is a joyous time!
It can also be a confusing time if you are not sure what to expect.
I am here to provide you with an unbiased evidence-based information to help you construct what you want during birth.
No matter the modality you choose I am here to provide gentle and caring support through your journey.
My services include labor doula, postpartum doula, and lactation support.
I am located in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia, PA. I support the Philadelphia region and surrounding suburbs.
Studies Have Shown:
check out www.evidencebasedbirth.com for more info on the benefits of having a doula.
For most of these outcomes,* the best results occurred when woman had continuous labor support from a doula— someone who was NOT a staff member at the hospital and who was NOT part of the woman’s social network. When continuous labor support was provided by a doula, women experienced a:
-
31% decrease in the use of Pitocin*
-
28% decrease in the risk of C-section*
-
12% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth*
-
9% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief
-
14% decrease in the risk of newborns being admitted to a special care nursery
-
34% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience*
For four of these outcomes,* results with a doula were better than all the other types of continuous support that were studied. For the other outcomes, there was no difference between types of continuous support.
