Chris Morley launched Tender Care Doula Service in Valencia, California, seven years ago to provide nonmedical postpartum care workers (or doulas) to frazzled new moms. --Roy Huffman, "Healthy returns," [1]Entrepreneur Magazine, February 1, 1996 Unlike midwives, who deliver babies and are licensed to perform medical tasks, labor doulas provide emotional and physical support to the laboring parents. --Stephen L. Richmond, "One Labor-Intensive Job," [2]Time, March 12, 2001 _________________________________________________________ Doula derives from Greek doula, "servant-woman, slave," akin to [3]hierodule.
