What role does a birth partner REALLY play during labour?
In this episode, I’m joined by Gordon from MANtenatal to talk about advocacy, oxytocin, men’s mental health and why birth partners can completely change a woman’s birth experience when they feel informed, confident and prepared.
We unpack:
- Why birth isn’t a “spectator sport”
- How birth partners can advocate calmly in labour
- The BRAIN tool for making informed decisions
- Protecting oxytocin during birth
- Practical ways to support women through contractions
- Men’s mental health in the postpartum period
- Why better birth education for dads is SO needed
This is such a powerful conversation and honestly one I’d really recommend listening to WITH your birth partner
