      ab: This paper reviews research findings on psychosocial outcomes of childbirth, such as women's longterm memories and impressions; the effects of emotional distress on labor progress and fetal well-being; women's satisfaction with their childbirths; and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after childbirth. These outcomes are explored in terms of how they are influenced by doula care during childbirth. The conclusion is that the doula's simple intention of nurturing and protecting women's memories of their births addresses and improves psychosocial outcomes.
