Dads and doulas

Doulas support and enhance the relatively new but vitally important role of a father’s increased involvement in the birth of his child. The father-to-be is expected to understand the process and language of birth and hospital protocol, and be able to advocate for his partner and protect her in an environment which is usually as unfamiliar to him as to his partner. There is also often an expectation that he know how and be able to emotionally and physically support his partner throughout her labor. A doula can provide the information needed by parents to make informed decisions and help dad to better and more comfortably provide the support mom needs from him. She can also facilitate communication between the laboring woman, her partner and her medical care providers.
