During labour and birth your partner may be feeling tired, frightened, unsure, overwhelmed and in pain. She may doubt her ability to do it, she may get angry, she might cry and she will definitely need some words of encouragement.
Tell her she is doing it, when she says she can’t, tell her you love her when she feels unsafe, tell her she is amazing when she finished yet another contraction. Tell her she’s ok if plans change and that she is awesome.
When women are having a baby, they can need to feel strong and capable – your words will help that.
Book a session with me if you have questions, need some additional support or preparation for birth & baby.

Always seek medical support if you are concerned about yourself or your baby. Even if it is just a feeling that something isn’t right.
