I am so glad we enlisted in Sue as a doula for my wife. As the husband in this situation, I had some hesitation about working with a doula and having an outside presence be involved with the birth of our first child (especially someone who would serve as a third person in the delivery room), but I am glad we chose Sue.
She involved me in conversations and decisions both in and out of the delivery room and what I appreciated the most was how she put my wife at ease during delivery day, which then put me at ease as well. I thought I was ready to be my wife's "rock" during the labor process, and perhaps I very well could have been, but having Sue by our side was such a relief and something I truly appreciated as a husband, because my number one goal throughout the entire pregnancy and labor process was to make sure my wife was taken care of as best as possible and Sue was a big reason for the postive experience we had throughout the pregnancy.
She actively coached my wife on getting through labor while involving me in that process as well. Ultimately, I realized that even though it was my wife's idea to look into doulas, working with Sue turned out to be just as important to me as it was to my wife because of the knowledge, tools, care, and guidance she provided in order to have a happy, safe, and successful birth.
