5 top tips for birth partners
1. Before the birth, have discussions about what she would like you to do to support her in labour. It's far easier than waiting until the labour itself then trying to find out.
2. Ask her about her preferences for things such as pain relief, and what she would like if intervention is offered.
3. If there is anything you are unsure or worried about, get it out in the open before the birth, so it doesn't get in the way later on.
4. Learn some relaxation techniques beforehand so you can practice these together- then on the day they are familiar.
5. On the day, try to keep the room or birth environment as private and comfortable as possible. Low lighting, privacy, and make sure she feels safe.
