Is your support person terrified of birth or has no clue how to be involved?
It’s so important for partners to grow their confidence to support laboring mothers, understand that this is mom’s birth, and show them why it’s important to follow her lead and trust her decisions.
Whether you’re the support person, or mom looking for resources to give your support person… this episode is for you!
So in this episode, I talk about:
- Accepting that $hit (literally) happens, as do other bodily functions, during labor…
- Birth is not the time for your partner to be oblivious to your needs. If this is a struggle, prioritize this...
- Allowing mom to turn off her thinking brain and check out of reality...
- …and so much more!
I hope this episode encourages you to have a conversation with your partner about their role in supporting you during labor. Be sure to share this episode with them and the PDF resource below!
And don’t forget to check out the special offer for the Hands-Off Hospital Birth course happening from July 19th to 26th. It’s a great opportunity to honor your authentic self by having an autonomous birth experience and connecting with a supportive community!
