Our Mission
FAITH - LOYAL - DEVOTED
TruDoulas of New Jersey exists to put an end to infant and maternal mortality, one pregnancy at a time through education and advocacy across New Jersey, with a focused commitment to Mercer County.
When families are informed, mothers are safer.
Why Are Doulas Necessary?
What Support Does a Doula Provide?
What Support Does a Doula Provide?
Continuous doula support changes outcomes. Families who have a doula by their side throughout labor consistently experience:
- Shorter labors with fewer complications
- Lower rates of cesarean delivery
- Less reliance on interventions like Pitocin, forceps, or vacuum extraction
- Fewer requests for pain medication and epidurals
- A more positive, empowered birth experience
The research is clear: babies born with doula support are four times less likely to have a low birth weight, mothers and babies are twice as likely to avoid birth complications, and breastfeeding initiation rates rise significantly.
For TruDoulas, these aren't just numbers, they're the reason we exist. Every doula we train and place is one more advocate in the room, helping a family feel informed, supported, and safe.
