Does the Doula interfere with the father or partners role during labour and delivery?
No. On the contrary, the presence of a continuous labour support person for the labouring woman can allow the partner to be involved to their own comfort level. At times when the partner begins to feel uncertain or fearful the Doula can reassure them when things are normal. The partner may feel helpless at times and it is during these times that the Doula can help bring the parents together as a team.
