Partner Preparation Checklist
Birth partners play a powerful role during labour. Feeling prepared can help partners stay calm, confident and present when support is most needed.
Support often begins well before labour starts. In the final weeks of pregnancy, partners can play an important role in helping create a calm environment, encouraging rest, supporting physical preparation and helping with practical tasks as the due date approaches.
This checklist outlines practical ways partners can prepare both in the final weeks of pregnancy and during labour itself - from understanding the stages of labour and learning comfort techniques, to helping create a supportive birth environment.
