Partners play such a special and important role during labor and birth, but when they see their wife in a state she’s never been in before (aka Labor Land), they often get worried and don’t know what to do.

Partners play such a special and important role during labor and birth, but when they see their wife in a state she’s never been in before (aka Labor Land), they often get worried and don’t know what to do. Just as mom has to prepare so she will know what to do, willing dads can prepare too. A doula can support dad‘s needs through this major life event, in addition to teaching dad practical ways to be the best possible support for mom. The partner’s primary duties include: protecting the environment so mom feels safe at all times, advocating for her wishes, keeping track of important items, providing comfort measures, and consistently boosting mom’s oxytocin levels (the love hormone that causes contractions) by helping mom feel relaxed and loved.
