Why Do I Need a Doula if I Have a Partner?

This is a commonly asked question. 

It is ideal to have your partner and a doula at your birth! 

A doula is knowledgeable about birth, has experience with and understands the birthing process, and is trained in comfort measures.

Your partner knows you, how you deal with stress, and how to comfort you personally based on experience with you. 

Doulas and partners working together truly make a perfect team!

Plus, when your partner needs to eat, rest, or break-- mom is still supported!
