Even though the effectiveness of birth doulas has been proven, there are still only a few cases in Japan, and doulas themselves are not well-known.
This project isBy collecting the voices of people who have given birth with doulas, we aim to accumulate cases in Japan and provide evidence of its effectiveness.
In recent years, it has become more common for women to create and submit a ``birth plan'' at the time of childbirth to tell the medical team how they want their child to be born.
I hope that we will live in a world where people can write, ``I would like a birth doula to accompany them'' in their birth plan, and that request will be accepted.
We appreciate your cooperation.

If there is evidence or precedent!
I want to be with you all the time, but it's difficult because there are other patients. If only a doula could do that!
