Birth Partner Checklist (During Labour)
Birth partners play a vital role during labour - offering reassurance, creating a calm environment and helping the birthing person feel safe and supported throughout.
Labour can feel intense and unpredictable at times, and partners often find it helpful to have simple, practical ways to offer support. This isn’t about doing everything perfectly, but about being present, responsive and working together as a team.
This guide focuses on ways partners can support during labour itself - from early labour through to birth - including comfort measures, communication and emotional support.
