Yep, sure did know the word. I first learned about a doola from Michael Perry's book called "Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs and Parenting". ( A great read BTW). Where Michael had his fishing buddy as his male doola to help HIM through the process LOL!!! Come to think of it, I wish I had one long ago when it was my turn!
Ha, that's splendid. I will have to check out that book!
