DESCRIPTION: 
You might not have a birth support person with you. Our Trust considered whether to put these Birthing Better skills into this course. Many hospitals are restricting their maternity wards. In some fathers are not even permitted. And in others, only one person.
Who do you choose as your birth-coach?
Choose the person who will be in this child's life after birth. The rise of Doulas came when the Natural Birth Movement in the late 1970s told fathers they should not 'coach' a woman which they were doing using both Lamaze and The Bradley Method (Father-coached childbirth). 
In fact, the reason fathers were permitted into birth from the 1960s onward was women demanding that your husband/other come and help us. When we shared birth and birth-coaching skills, our families become stronger.
In the mid1970s, fathers were told to 'support' a woman's choices and to 'protect the sacred space of birth'. These ideas are crazy.

Once a baby is born, a woman doesn't want the father to stand behind...
