there’s a lot about fatherhood - but what about birth partnership ?

You’ve probably heard the old adage that goes something like: “Motherhood starts at conception, fatherhood starts at birth”.

While the statement is itself true, it reflects a commonly held value throughout our society that as men, we’re really just bystanders, or at the best helpers, until baby is born.

But what about the 9.5 months before that?

The result of our societal approach is that we have women who are journeying alone, with men who desire to step up, but don’t have the vision, motivation, or the support to do so. Let’s change that.

Here at Doula Dad, we’re starting a new conversation. What if we actually have an active and deeply impactful role to play in the entire journey from pregnancy to labor to delivery and even to postpartum? What if our level of initiative and engagement actually has a measurable impact on our partner’s birth experience and outcomes? What if its not just about fatherhood, but about deepening our bond with our partners as we navigate this crazy experience together?

If you’re a man and your partner is pregnant - whether it’s your first kid or your fifth - come join us on the journey and let’s change the landscape of how men are engaging in the birth journey.
