We ENCOURAGE. We answer questions and provide assurance. We hold hands, ease fears, and normalize the birth process. We remind the medical staff of your hopes and birth preferences. We squeeze hips and apply counter pressure to aching backs. We listen with compassion to what you and your partner are feeling. We suggest positions to help labor progress. We help create a positive birth atmosphere. We provide evidence based information so that you can make informed decisions. We help you stay in the moment and take it one surge at a time. We check in with you and see what is working and what isn’t. We apply heating pads and ice packs where you would like them the most. We slow down communication with medical providers. We guide you how to use your breath during surges. We dim lights, get warm blankets, and hush machines. We respect ANY and ALL decisions you make. No judgment. Ever. We massage your shoulders and help you release tension. We offer soothing words and visualizations to help you focus inward. If something doesn’t go as planned, we help you ease into and accept this. We fill the tub and get the shower ready. We give soothing foot rubs. We offer your partner a break. We pat sweaty brows with cool wet towels. We make sure you know the benefits and risk of medical procedures. We encourage a variety of positions for the pushing stage, with or without an epidural. If you hit a wall, we help you get over it. We stay with you until your baby is born. If you’re using a particular childbirth preparation method, we are too. We quench dry mouths and feed you when you’re hungry. We take photos to capture memories of this life changing experience. We help with position changes to baby descend- even with an epidural. We encourage your partner to bring the love. We strive to help you reach your hopes for birth. We support unmedicated birth. We support epidurals. We support planned c-sections. We support scheduled inductions. We are here for YOU.
