The correct answer is: Holly is Lisa's doula.

A doula refers to a birth coach or birth companion whose responsibility is emotionally and physically supporting an expectant mother, before, during and after giving birth. A doula is not medically trained, however he or she is experienced in supporting expectant and new mothers. Doulas provide tremendous guidance and support when it comes to expectant mothers' anxieties, doubts and needs regarding giving birth.
