Digital Birth Plan Builder
Birth & Health Clarity Call
The support people who show up most powerfully in labor are not the ones who love the hardest. They are the ones who came in prepared. They knew the birth plan. They knew the preferences. They knew exactly what to say and when to say it — because they did the work before the first contraction started.
In this episode, Dr. Tiffany Woodus breaks down exactly what your support person needs to know before you go into labor. What skills they actually need. How to build your birth plan together so it reflects both of your roles in that room. And the five conversations every couple needs to have before the due date — including the one most people skip entirely.
Because when you cannot speak for yourself, your support person becomes your voice. Make sure they are ready to use it.
