| What about the father? A doula will encourage the father to participate in supporting and encouraging his partner in all areas that are comfortable for him. It has been found that partners take a more active role with the doula present because responsibilities are now shared between two, allowing some time for each to relax. Birth is an exciting and anxious time for both partners. The presence of a Doula is an essential asset to the birth team. |
