Having a doula present at your birth has been shown to result in a:

50% reduction in cesarean rates

25% shorter labor

60% reduction in epidural requests

40% reduction in oxytocin (pitocin) use

30% reduction in analgesia use

40% reduction in forceps delivery

(from Mothering the Mother by Marshall H. Klaus [1993])
