Episode Number:

What is a husband's/partner's role in birth? It was not so long ago that husbands weren't allowed in delivery rooms and were unable to participate in the birth of their children. Today things are very different. Many husbands/partners are very supportive and want to be involved in their child's birth experience. So what do they need to know to be the best support they can?
Join us as we explore the types of support a laboring woman needs, the importance of labor support, how a birth partner can prepare for their role and resources for birth partners.
