Don’t nurses do the same things that a doula does?
Generally, your nurse has several laboring mothers she is responsible for at one time. She is monitoring vitals, logging information and patient progress, is in and out of the room to tend to other patients who need her attention, has changes of shifts, and is communicating your progress with your midwife, or physician. Nurses have a myriad of nursing responsibilities that don’t offer you continuous one on one care.
