How do you help my partner during labor?

Let me count the ways....we can reassure them that everything is normal and right on time. We’ll calmly explain what's happening if a curve ball is thrown and medical interventions must take place. In case you’re unable to speak when a care providers is suggesting an intervention, we’ll remind your partner to ask for any known risks and alternatives of the suggested procedure or medicine. This allows for informed consent and consideration of your original birth plan and all the available options.  

Our presence at a labor allows the partner to take breaks, make phone calls, use the bathroom and catch a quick nap. If your partner wants to be your main support person and actively involved, we’ll support them by showing where to apply counter pressure, massage, etc. Our extra help will relieve the stress from your partners shoulders, ensuring your experience is positive and transformative.
