Make your partner into your Covid-doula

You’re pregnant, you’re having a hospital birth, and you’re due in the next few weeks or months. You’ve been told that you can only have one support person, and you figure you should probably have your partner instead of us. I’m joking. Of course your partner will be your first choice.

We are experts in birth, and with our experience as doulas we are going to teach you, and your partner to be a well prepared, educated, and informed birth team.

At some point in the birth, your partner will feel helpless and useless. This is okay. They love you so much, and would do anything to help you through. But they can’t have the baby for you, and so will likely feel like there’s nothing they can do. This isn’t true.

We will teach you what you CAN do. Your partner will have a list of options to try for comfort, a better understanding of the birth process, and be able to manage their own self care during the process.
