This episode is a guide for how friends or family members can take a deeply human and holistic approach to supporting birthgivers when professional doula services are either inaccessible or unaffordable.
Importantly, your support person (or persons if you are able to secure multiple helpers!) can provide crucial support before, during and after childbirth.
Whoever is attending your birth - and/or helping you after the birth - must give this one a listen - your mom, your partner, your sibling, your friend, or anyone else who will be there.
Listen to the full episode to hear step-by-step guidance on:
* The Role of a Support Person
* What to do Pre-Birth
* Strategies for Providing Support During Birth
* Practical Advice for Postpartum Support
* What to do Post-Birth
Make sure your support person listens to this episode and that together you talk through expectations and practical examples of what you'd like to happen.
There are lots of links in the show notes on our website that will be helpful resources for your support person.
