Another benefit is that no matter how much you have educated yourselves, during childbirth your head isn’t fully there and if the dr recommends something that is in his best interest and bad for you (ie for insurance purposes, because he’s lazy, etc) the doula will make sure your needs come first. Also, if you want to go naturally, the doula teaches techniques how to make it go as smoothly as possible and will be there with the woman to keep her calm. If your wife is pushing for a doula get it for her.
