One of the most common hesitations to hiring a doula is the concern that she will replace dad’s role in the birth of his child. Will he be relegated to sitting in the corner, while the doula supports his wife through birth? The answer is a resounding NO!
In this episode, Sally and Melissa interview Brian Weaver about his experience in working with a doula in the birth of his second child. Brian and his wife, Rebecca, didn’t have a doula for their first child, so he pinpoints specific ways the experiences differed. Listen to this episode to find out why Brian thinks doulas help dads put their focus where it’s needed and be more present in the moment.
