💑 5 Ways Your Partner Can Support You in Labor

Labor isn’t just about contractions, it’s about connection. A loving, present partner can make ALL the difference.

Here are 5 powerful ways your partner can show up during labor:

1. Stay Calm + Grounded Your energy matters. If you stay calm, she’ll feel safe. Breathe with her. Be her anchor.
   

2. Offer Hands-On Support Counterpressure, hip squeezes, holding her up during contractions, your touch is powerful.
   

3. Speak Life Over Her- “You’re doing amazing.” “You’re so strong.” “I’m with you every breath.” Your words matter more than you know.
   

4. Protect the Space Advocate. Ask questions. Make sure the birth room stays calm, dim, and peaceful. You’re her guard dog.
   

5. Pray With Her / For Her If you’re faith-led, your spiritual leadership can bring peace and strength into the room. Invite God’s presence into the process.
