Operation Special Delivery (or OSD), provides trained
volunteer doulas for pregnant women whose husbands or
partners have been severely injured or who have lost
their lives due to the current war on terror, or who
will be deployed at the time that they are due to give
birth.
What is
a doula? A doula is specially trained to give
informational, emotional, and physical support to women
during childbirth. A doula does not perform medical
tasks, but is trained to provide uninterrupted support
to a mother in labor.
Why
military moms? Because OSD believes that no one should
give birth without support, especially the women who are
giving birth while these fathers are making such a great
sacrifice for our country and our freedom. We just want
to try to give back in appreciation.
