I’ll be the first to say I was not really on board with having a doula. I felt it was as unnecessary as us also having a midwife. Well, I am a changed man. This was the birth of my first child and I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to do it without Kayla. She was incredible. She supported us before, during and after childbirth. When I was at the hospital, I felt like I had everything I needed to make my wife comfortable. I was worried that with her there, I would be unnecessary for the birth of my son. Instead, she assisted and encouraged me in any way I needed. She helped me be who I wanted to be for my wife during the raw, but incredible, experience that is child birth. Watching your wife give birth is scary, but with a doula like Kayla in your corner, it is so much less so. It allowed me to worry less and enjoy the whole experience so much more. We also allowed Kayla to take pictures during the entire process and it was so great to see them, and a couple of short videos, afterwards. I have my memories but she managed to capture the magical moments perfectly and bring my memories, of one of the most incredible days, back to life. Without any hesitation whatsoever, my wife and I would both have Kayla as our doula if we have another child.
