Doulas for fathers-to-be

Mothers-to-be: when giving birth to your next requisite Park Slope baby, don't forget about the needs of your male half. As the doula wipes the sweat from your brow and handfeeds you ice chips, make sure your man has the same treatment during these intense hours.
For just $200 you can hire a Craigslist "dudela," a doula to hold the hand of fathers-to-be through the metaphorical pain of perineal tears. The (presumably fake) ad offers men non-medical support during their wife's labor. A dudela will handle all texts and phone calls during the delivery, update your Facebook status on your wife's dilation progress and tweet the announcement of your child's crowning moment. Not to mention, handle all up to the minute sport updates so fathers can really be in the moment.
