What Dads Think About Doulas
"We don’t like paying extra. We also know childbirth is very expensive."
Too many fathers-to-be feel a doula just isn’t needed. It’s the
equivalent of buying the warranty—and we never get the warranty. You
want someone to come with us to the hospital on this special day?
Someone crashing our private family moment? Someone telling us what to
do? This is all too true as many husbands don’t want to pay for that
lack of privacy and control.
We hired our doula early on and in addition to being experienced and
knowledgeable about the childbirth process, she made us feel immediately
at ease. I didn’t realize how much time we would actually spend
together prior to delivery. I enjoyed taking time to get to know her,
ask questions and learn more about what was ahead of us at our own pace. Check out my post on what dads think about doulas and how they can support their partners' births to see more.
