STOP ANSWERING ALL THE QUESTIONS IN LABOR…

Now that I got that off my chest, let’s get to it…

Mama, you shouldn’t be answering all of the questions when you are in labor. You need to be in your #BIRTHZONE. That means, undisturbed, at peace and focused on nothing but yourself.

I don’t know how many times I have gone into births where mama is being asked SO MANY UNNECESSARY QUESTIONS. It drives me insane since mama already did the work to complete the forms BEFORE going into #labor.

One of the things I try to prepare all of my families for is to allow mama to stay in her birth zone and allow her #birthteam (even if that’s just her partner) to answer all of the questions for her.

Usually, these are work-related or previous medical history questions (which we all know are already in her forms, but for some reason need to be answered at that very moment 🙄). Regardless of what they are, it is essential that if we can leave mama as uninterrupted as possible, she can continue to progress in labor.

As a birth team, we know her plan and can help #advocate for those things for her without her needing to say a thing. Of course, there may be questions that mama must answer herself, but I have been so proud to see so many partners step in when the questions come flying the minute they get into #triage to allow mama to stay out of it.

Partners, you know your partner. You know what she wants (or at least you should). You know her SS# and where she works - you can do most of the talking. You can also gather the information for any consideration or suggestion and then discuss it with mama before giving a super quick answer. Time is usually always on your side.

Partners - Make sure providers and support staff know to come to you with any requests and that you will consult with mama and come back with an answer after you’ve had time to discuss.

My Werk Your Birth program is not just for mamas. The entire program supports mamas AND partners to educate you both for your roles at birth. This is what helped Harold and I so we collaborated to support families together through this program - both recorded videos and live coaching.
