Doula
This intervention included doulas providing weekly home visits during the last trimester of pregnancy and up to three months postpartum. Home visits focused on prenatal health, preparation for childbirth, breastfeeding education, and developing a relationship with the baby. Doulas also were present in the hospital during labor, delivery, and postpartum providing emotional support, non-medical comfort measures, and breastfeeding counseling.
