how can your partner support you in labor?

Supporting your partner during labor is about being present, calm, and responsive to their needs. It’s not just about doing things for them but also about being emotionally connected. You can start by simply being there, holding their hand, and offering words of encouragement. Your presence alone can be incredibly comforting.

But it’s also important to be adaptable. Labor can be unpredictable, so tune in to what they need at the moment—whether that’s helping them change positions, offering a sip of water, or even just staying quiet.

Remember, this is a journey you’re on together. Your support, whether it’s through physical touch, emotional reassurance, or simply holding space, can make all the difference in helping your partner feel safe, loved, and empowered during one of the most transformative experiences of their life.
