Doula-supported postpartum care for mothers of premature babies
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having a doula (a trained support person) coordinate your postpartum care with a midwife helps mothers who had a premature baby (born before 34 weeks) and whose baby is in the NICU. It aims to improve the health and well-being of both mothers and their babies after a preterm birth.
