Royal baby: What is a doula and will Meghan Markle have one as she gives birth? | The Independent

A doula is an individual who provides continuous support for a family through pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood.

According to the Journal of Perinatal Education, the word "doula" originates from the Greek word for "slave" and is widely understood to describe an experienced woman who, after birth, assisted the mother with breastfeeding her baby.
