Another inaccuracy:
"A doula must go through certification, training and participate in live births. However, requirements vary from state to state."
Doulas are not regulated by any state or federal agencies, as they are not clinical/medical care providers. Training and certification is available through many local and national organizations but is not a requirement.
Also, doulas frequently work with families from as early as the first trimester.
