Doula argument
Does anyone have any experiences with a doula that could tell me about how the father fit in during delivery? I have been searching for articles about dads and doulas online, but haven't come up with a whole lot if information. 😣
My SO was completely on board when I first discussed hiring a doula. I'd really like to try to get through birth without drugs and feel that I have a much better chance of this happening if I have the support from someone experienced and knowledgable. After I watched The Business of Being Born, I was even more convinced this would be the way I could possibly get through it. However, his perspective completely changed after watching it. He sees it as a feminist issue that will ultimately push him out of the picture during the labor and delivery. Obviously, I want him to be there and be involved, but I don't think that he has enough knowledge (and definitely not the experience!) about how to help get me through it.
Please share your dad/doula stories or any informational links that may help to assure him that he won't be pushed aside or left out! Thank you! ☺️
