Doulas and Dads/Partners
A doula doesn't replace Dad! Instead, a doula enhances the role a women's partner plays in her labor. She can encourage and assist Dad in his support of the woman he loves. She can also help Dad remember all the stuff he learned in childbirth classes including demonstrating comfort measures and position changes. Dads play a unique and important role in the birth of their child. Dads and doulas work as a team to support mom.
