FAQ

  • What is Daddy Doula, and how does it work?

    Daddy Doula is a support service designed to empower dads and partners to confidently navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We provide tools, classes, and hands-on support to prepare partners for their role as the ultimate support person.

  • Do you offer support for both parents?

    Yes! Both parents are involved in planning sessions and classes. We also offer dad-focused meet-ups (Huddle Up) and the Play Book Club exclusively for dads/partners.

  • What if we only need some of the services?

    No problem! Check out our Build Your OWN Game Plan option to create a custom support package tailored to your specific needs and budget.

  • Can I sign my partner up and do the intake call for them?

    Absolutely! While we encourage both partners to join the intake call, we’re happy to start with you and discuss options before moving forward.

  • Will you be present at the birth?

    Yes! Becca will serve as your primary doula and attend the birth if invited, ensuring you have seamless support from pregnancy through postpartum.

  • Are the dad/partner meet-ups and book club required?

    Not at all! These are optional resources designed to enhance your experience, but participation is entirely up to you.

  • What if my partner is unsure about being a primary support person?

    That’s common! We specialize in building confidence through practical tools, guidance, and encouragement to ensure they feel ready to step into their role.

  • What if my partner can’t attend all sessions?

    While their involvement is encouraged, I can adapt the sessions and provide resources to ensure they’re caught up and ready to support you.

  • Do you provide postpartum mental health resources?

    Yes. We’re trained to recognize signs of postpartum challenges and can connect you with trusted professionals and resources to support your mental health.

  • Are prenatal trainings provided in a group setting or private sessions with doulas?

    Great question!
    Our prenatal and hands-on comfort measures are taught privately between your doula and your family (mom and partner). This allows us to focus entirely on your unique needs, preferences, and goals as you prepare for birth. We like to offer this in a package of three sessions at 30, 35, and 38 weeks to ensure you feel confident and well-prepared at every stage. Read more here!

    We also offer group-based options:

    Play Book Club on Zoom, led by Sean, your Daddy Mentor.

    Huddle Up: A meet-up for dads to connect, share experiences, and build friendships in a supportive environment.

  • What if labor starts earlier than expected?

    If labor begins before your planned support window, Becca will do her best to accommodate. If necessary, an RRDS backup doula will step in to ensure you’re supported.

  • What is belly binding, and is it included?

    Belly binding is a postpartum technique that supports recovery and healing. It’s included in The Full Season Package, with materials provided and a partner tutorial during the postpartum visit.

  • How do I know which package is right for us?

    We’re here to help! Whether you choose The Full Season Package, Build Your OWN Game Plan, or The Community League Package, we’ll work together to find the perfect fit for your journey.
