Limited research shows a doula, a Greek term for women's servant, can reduce the risk of complications and low birth weights and increase the likelihood of breastfeeding, but hiring one is pricey and not typically covered by insurance. Nathan Fletcher, chairman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors introduced the program because of the role doulas can play in improving health outcomes for pregnant women and their babies."We have a lot of evidence, and data suggests that this is a really important component for women who want to choose this to be a part of if it is available, to really facilitate not only a healthy pregnancy but a healthy birth and a healthy start to life," he said.
The county will spend $400,000 on the program, via contracts with local organizations and doulas to serve more individuals at no cost to them, train more doulas and promote better health outcomes. Fletcher said county staff will work with community partners to come up with the parameters of the program. The county is still working on developing what the pilot program will look like.
