About this listen

What great support looks like in real time: reading cues, offering the right kind of touch and words, advocating kindly and managing the room so the birthing person can focus.

Transform from anxious observer to confident birth partner with practical skills and clear guidance.

We discuss:

  • Reading non-verbal cues in labour
  • Comfort measures partners can lead with confidence
  • Advocacy phrases that open options (not conflict)
  • Environment management 101
  • The partner's emotional journey
  • When to step in vs step back
  • Supporting without taking over
  • Self-care for birth partners

Support your partner's water birth with Birth Pool in a Box. Visit https://www.birthpoolinabox.co.uk for birth pools that make partner support easier and more effective.
