[cs_content][cs_element_section _id=”1″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”2″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”3″ ][cs_element_text _id=”4″ ][cs_content_seo]Your Birth Partner plays an important role. There are so many things to do:
In early labor
Time your contractions
Take a walk with you
As labor gets stronger:
Help you change into different positions (standing, walking, or squatting)
Breathe with you
Give ice chips to you, if allowed
Massage your back
Talk in a positive way like “You’re doing so well!” or “You’re really strong.” or “You can do this”
