Labor Support
This begins when you want and where you
want. Whether you call me to talk, come over
to your house or meet you at the hospital I will
be there. This is a different decision for every
woman. Some women want to labor as long as
possible at their home and others want to be
admitted and near a doctor to feel comfortable.
I would like a heads up when you THINK that
you are going into labor so I can get my things
in order, bag necessities, childcare and
general duties. Even if you are not sure
Please call me.
We will discuss prior to labor how I can help you. Some of things are as follows…
• Discussing you labor wishes
• Explanation of medical procedures
• Trying to avoid unnecessary intervention
• Taking pictures
• Help the partner in supporting the mom
• Being there so the partner can rest and feel assured that mom is being taken care of.
• Massage and other non medical pain relief
• Position changes and relaxation techniques
• EMOTIONAL support
• Anything that will make the mother feel better
