When my wife went into labor with our son, I was not at all nervous and I felt like I knew exactly what I needed to do. That is not because we were going on child number 3, it was because of the support we received from our Doula, Cristina. For our first child’s birth, I was not physically there and for our second, I might as well not have been because I was less than unhelpful because I had no idea what to do. When gearing up for our third, I wanted this to be a good experience for my wife and I so I knew we needed to do something different. When the topic of a Doula came up, I was nervous because I had no idea who this person was or if she would be replacing me in the delivery room. I found the opposite to be true, she was there to support me and help make sure I was doing everything I could to give my wife comfort and support. She did that through how she helped us prep leading up to labor, how she helped us set the room up once in labor and how she kept the nurses from bothering us too much. She helped in a way that allowed ALL of my attention to be on my wife. Because of that, not only was the experience more positive than the last two but my relationship with my wife grew stronger as well because I was able to show her that I was on her team and I was the supportive partner she needed. I truly believe without Cristina, that experience would not even be close to the same.
