The big showdown is about to go down!

Who is more important to have at your birth –

Dad or Doula?

Well, luckily it isn’t really a contest at all.

Dads and Doulas can work hand in hand and provide joint support to help you have the best birth possible.

Dads are perfect at

knowing how to love You
knowing what makes you feel safe and calm
knowing how to support and encourage you
along with so many other great things!

Doulas are perfect at

knowing about birth
knowing and sharing the pros and cons of different options you will be offered
knowing what a birthing mom look like
knowing and implementing tips and ideas to help you move easily through your birthing time

Together they make a great team for you.

It allows Dad to get a bathroom break, knowing you are in good hands. It allows Dad to focus on Mom and not have to remember all the other things.

Doulas help Dads too!

I know when we had our 3rd baby, our first with a doula. My husband asked after, “Why didn’t we have a doula each time!!!????” HE loved having one as much as I did.

A great chart I love to share which shows how Dads and Doulas compliment each other is here.
