Doulas offer the parents labor coping techniques, emotional support and comfort measures to assist them with their birth goals. Doulas work with all kinds of families, and all kinds of birth scenarios. Doulas also offer information and assist parents with the educational aspects of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.

Get the Doula mug.A unique man who even has the alpha depending on him. He works in the shadows, utilizes the power of silence, and has no sympathy for the opposition. Dulana calculates every decision that is presented to him, even if it means looking stupid for a momentary purpose. In the end, he has no care for anyone else or anything. Not even himself.
"Is that him?"
"Yep, that's him. Some call him the Devil himself. I'll do the talking, you just smile, alright?"
"Yeah, yeah, alright. I don't think Dulana is going to care about small talk anyway..."

Get the Lakan Dula mug.I read "Dula Peep" on a BuzzFeed quiz earlier and did some research. Apparently Wendy Williams was talking about famous singer Dua Lipa and mispronounced her name and it's kind of funny. Can also be found written "Doola Peep".
