Because Dads Deserve Support Too

In 2026, we recognise that both sexes are equal. Yet somehow, the one-sided support during childbirth isn't representative of modern views. It's time for change.

The Daddy Doula Philosophy

It Takes a Village to Support a Dad

For too long, childbirth has focused almost exclusively on the person giving birth. But what about the person watching? The person holding the hand? The person who drove to the hospital?

Dads are the forgotten heroes of the delivery room. We pace the corridors. We fetch the ice chips. We say "you're doing great" even though we have no frame of reference for what's happening.

My mission is simple: to ensure no dad ever feels alone during the most challenging spectator event of his life.

What Dads Are Saying

Real stories from real dads who survived childbirth with Tom's support.

"

Having a 'daddy doula' really helped me at what was a stressful time. The breathing exercises Tom showed me meant Maria only had to go 6-7 minutes without the gas & air! Excellent.

Tom was a game changer. With our first births, I felt like I was relegated to the sidelines, but Tom really helped make the birth much more about me and my feelings.

Tom's driving course helped us cut down on the drive time to the hospital by over 10 minutes. The handbrake turn to park at the hospital worked exactly as he had explained to break Brenda's waters.

The 'What Do I Say?' workshop was invaluable. I now know that "have you tried relaxing?" is never the right answer. Worth every penny for that alone.

My wife didn't understand why I needed a doula. Eighteen hours later, when Tom was there with a fresh coffee and words of encouragement while she was "busy", she still didn't understand. But I did. And that's what matters.

The cord cutting practice sessions really paid off. When the moment came, I cut that cord with confidence and precision. The midwife said it was "fine" — but I knew it was more than that. Tom knew too.

Transformative Dad Journeys

Gary holding his newborn
Case Study #1

Gary's Journey: From Anxious to Adequate

When Gary first came to me, he was a wreck. "What if I pass out?" he asked. "What if I say the wrong thing? What if she squeezes my hand too hard?"

Through our 4-week pre-birth programme, Gary learned to redirect attention back to himself in healthy ways. We practiced phrases like "I'm here for you" (while maintaining eye contact with his phone) and "You're so strong" (said from the safety of the doorway).

"I genuinely don't think I could have watched someone else give birth without Tom's help. He taught me it's okay to sit down if I feel woozy. Revolutionary."

Outcome: Gary successfully attended the birth, only left the room twice, and was first to post on social media.

Paul looking exhausted but triumphant
Case Study #2

Paul's Story: The 36-Hour Marathon

Paul's wife Sarah had a 36-hour labour. "I didn't think I was going to make it," Paul recalls. "But Tom was there, reminding me to hydrate, checking my stress levels, making sure I got some rest on the fold-out chair."

At hour 24, when Paul felt like giving up, Tom was there with a protein bar and a pep talk. "He told me I was doing great. That I'd already done more than most dads. It really kept me going."

"Sarah was incredible, obviously. But let's not forget — I was awake that whole time too. Tom helped me recognise that my tiredness was valid."

Outcome: Paul and Sarah welcomed baby Emma. Paul napped within 20 minutes of delivery.

Kevin confidently with his baby
Case Study #3

Kevin's Triumph: From Passenger to Co-Pilot

Kevin had been relegated to "bag carrier" in his first two births. "I felt invisible," he shares. "The midwives barely looked at me. My wife just kept asking for more pain relief instead of emotional support from me."

With Tom's guidance, Kevin learned to insert himself into key moments. The photo direction coaching meant Kevin was perfectly positioned for the first family photo (and even asked a nurse to retake it for better lighting).

"By the third birth, I felt like a real participant. Tom taught me that sometimes being present is about being seen, not just being there."

Outcome: Kevin's birth announcement post received 247 likes — his personal best.

About Tom

Father. Husband. Daddy Doula. Survivor.

I'm Tom, and I've been where you are. Three times, actually. Three beautiful daughters, three intense delivery experiences, and three opportunities to learn what dads really need during childbirth.

With my first daughter, I was unprepared. I said "just breathe" approximately 400 times. I nearly fainted during the crowning. I forgot the camera in the car. Never again.

By my third daughter, I had perfected my craft. I knew exactly where to stand (visible but not in the way), what to say ("you're doing amazing, sweetie" on a 10-minute loop), and when to step out for a tactical coffee break.

Now, I share that knowledge with other dads. Because no one should have to figure out hospital parking alone.

"I was a driving force at all three of my daughters' births. And I mean that literally — I drove us to the hospital each time. Safely. Quickly. Heroically."

Common Questions

FAQ

Is this... real?

The support I offer is very real. Dads' feelings are real. The exhaustion of watching someone else go through labour is real. The confusion about what to do with your hands is real.

What does my partner think about this?

Many partners are initially sceptical. Then they see the benefits of having a calm, supported dad in the room rather than a panicked one. Or so I assume — I've never actually asked any of them.

Do you support the person giving birth too?

That's what midwives and regular doulas are for! I focus exclusively on the dad experience. Division of labour, if you will.

Can I expense this through work?

I provide invoices marked "Professional Birth Coaching Services" which several dads have successfully filed under "professional development." Results may vary.

What if the birth happens faster than expected?

My rapid response time is one of my key selling points. I've been known to arrive at hospitals within 30 minutes. That said, if baby arrives before I do, I offer a 50% refund and a free "processing the experience you missed" session.

Do you do home births?

Yes! Home births actually allow me to provide enhanced services like fridge raid coordination, sofa optimisation, and ensuring the WiFi password is written down somewhere accessible.
