7 Tips for the BIRTH PARTNER | Birth Doula

Love this, an involved present partner makes a world of a difference. Thnx for your teaching

Thank you sharing with my husband ❤️

Lol my husband was really tired as we started watching this, he drifted after hearing, “present”. I asked him what “P” stood for and he said “present” lol. Then I said what does “R” stand for and he said, “Relaxed”, lol and then finally, what does “E” stand for? “Entertainment?” Hahaha Lord help me with this one, lol. I love this man though, it was good laughs for us 😂 we will continue watching this when we are more awake. Thank you!! 💛💛

2 days from due date with my second. First birth I didn't want anyone in my space. I accepted minimum help, a cold cloth on the neck and some lower back kneading. This time I am already so emotional before any signs of labour that I just want to be held and hugged but after expressing to my husband I want him to sit by me he can't seem to even manage that. I'm now just feeling annoyed with his lack of concern for my emotions.

Thank you ❤

"Both of your guises".

Birthing woman. I love it

Nobody had me watch this.

Where did you get that shirt?

Thank you.

“…Both of youguyses….” Always wonderful for the tutorial presenter to sound like a 1930s gangster.

The father is not simply a "birth partner" he is the father of the child. The other parent. Fathers are just as, if not more, important to the development and long term well being of the child as the mother. Fatherless child statistics are drastically worse than motherless children. Give it a rest with the new age feminist bullshit.

Thank you for putting this video together. I will use these tips very soon.

About to be a dad any day now! Watching this for last minute tips!

55 4 children . However there are pros and cons . You will be the subject to ridicule if you slip up on the day forever .
Many hours of waiting around and everything is your fault . Top tip take breaks away from your partner plenty of spare change and eat away from your partner . Don't fuss your partner . And if possible make another female a birth partner.

My wife is 29 weeks today. I’m getting nervous , our first baby . This was helpful. Thank you .

Who else is watching this video while their wife is in labor? I am 🙋‍♂️

My wife is in active labor, I cant wait to meet our son! thank you so much for the tips

Do you have any labor or delivery tips for women with vaginismus?

You mean husband?

You’re so calming to listen to .

Surprised this is the first video I click on after looking for tips myself, I shall go else where.

Gotta prep 😅 i got a week or less

What would you recommend if the partner doesn’t want to be in the room because it’s stresses them out watching the woman in pain?

My mom is a doula

Thank you

Currently 39 weeks pregnant and watching this made me really emotional and cry...

It’s so funny how this video starts... I came here willingly to educate myself on how i can be there more. Thank you.

You sound Annoying.

You mentioned “educated”. What is the link to that video?

Can you say all this a little louder for my husband in the back? 🙄🙄

Watching this in the hospital right now

Not me watching while on the way to the hospital

Thank you so much Bridget! You helped even from Greenland 😊 Your videos have helped me n my significant other so much! However I didn’t manage to do the J breathing despite practicing so much during my pregnancy 😂 But I’m gonna succeed in it next time 🥰

This is really helpful! Thank you :)

I’m trying to rest but I can’t leave her alone I’m here being her assistant anything she needs I do so I’m hardly resting

How do I validate her pain?

Really appreciate you making these videos and making this information available to a wide range of people! Like lots of other mommas right now, pandemic has prevented prenatal classes and has also made it so I only have my partner in the room; since neither of us know what the hell we are doing these tips are really helpful (also helpful that there is another person telling him what I want from him because he will probably listen better to a third party 😂)

I am 28 weeks now for my first child and I am turning 32 next month. This pregnancy seems like difficult for me. Praying and hoping for a normal delivery. 🙏

I have had 5 sons. My first 4 I had an epidural and Pitocin. My 5th son I had Feb 2019 I was determined to birth unmedicated and I did it! I’ve binged watched so many of your videos as I am currently 7 weeks pregnant and I want to have another unmedicated birth! Thank you so much for all your content!! Even though my 5th was by far the hardest I felt so accomplished and that feeling of victory over powers the hardness of labor and delivery!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I live in one of those areas where they may make me give birth alone. I'm scared, but hopefully by June when I'm due, it wont be a problem to have someone with me.

You may say its weird the husband is watching, but I loved your videos. Due to this crzy COVIDE -19 I couldn't able to be with her. She is faraway in Ethiopia. I'm at KS. She is at week 37 and 4 days. I wish if I did my part (PRESENT). I'm Just praying.

Just had my hubby watch this and he had great follow up questions and he feels a lot better now! And so do I. Thank you 🤰🏻

Come to Alabama and help me through my birth in September 🥺

Hello dear Bridget! Can you allow closed caption on this video? Thanks!

Wife is in active labor! We just watched a ton of your videos. Thanks for educating us! Loved the PRESENT acronym.

Communication was almost impossible for me during the later stages of my labors. Having someone else who knew my plans and where things in the house were was indispensable.
