How do you comfort your wife through labor?

[Anonymous]

Me and my wife are having a baby in December. How can I comfort her through labor?

Words of affirmation, don’t grip her hand because she might try to bite it. When your in that much pain, you might not notice how much pain you cause others, a guy from church said his wife hurt him by biting his hand when he gripped it while she was in labour.

Do whatever she ask and follow her birth plan.

Just hold her hand and tell her that she can do it and to keep pushing

[Apple1996]

Never good to tell a woman to push. Her body she be doing the pushing, not her. This is what causes vaginal tears. Telling her she can do it is good tho

Pretty sure there's classes for you to take that covers this

[Gent207-2]

Just be present and be her biggest advocate for her birth plan or whatever is best for her

Congrats! Make sure you comfort her beyond labor. Some women have postpartum depression so better to talk about that now with a professional and have a plan.

Make sure to tell her how uncomfortable the hospital chairs are since she will likely be in a cushy bed.

Be there to support her as much as she needs you.
