Yes. If you need to have a C-section, a doula’s help can be very valuable. If you do not have a partner, or if there is a reason your partner cannot join you in the operating room, a doula may support you during surgery. If your partner goes in with you, depending upon the hospital’s policy, a doula can either support your partner with the baby while you are in recovery, or help you with breastfeeding while you recover.
