Partner at Birth
Stage → what to do and avoid
Do
- ✓Pack your bag: documents, water, snacks, powerbank, spare clothes
- ✓Learn the route and a backup — night, traffic, closures
- ✓Know her birth plan — you're her voice
- ✓Arrange partner-assisted birth with the hospital in advance
Don't
- ✗Don't panic or fuss — your stress is contagious
- ✗No 'seems like' or 'maybe' — only facts to staff
Partner-assisted birth needs hospital approval: usually a fluorography/lab certificate and spare clothes. Check your hospital's requirements in advance.
