Do you know that you are incomplete without your birthing companion while in labour??
The most critical and essential phase of our 9 months pregnancy is Labour Pain and baby birth. Labour Pain is completely an emotional experience and having a birth partner beside us is the best we can have. Birth companion completely changes the experience of labour pain and our baby birth.
The first question which arises in most of the pregnant women is “Who can be your birthing partner or a birthing companion?”
A birthing companion can be your mother, father, husband, mother-in-law or anyone whom you share a special bond. He or she should be someone who can motivate you and can give you comfort during the labour pain. Moreover, nowadays, in most of the hospitals, your birthing companion is even allowed to be in the labour room with you.
I am in my 38th week of pregnancy, and I was also asked by the doctor to choose my birthing companion. My doctor told me to choose someone whom you can trust and rely on. Who can understand me more than I understand myself. I asked him “ Why?”. He shared that the contractions in labour are painful, and it’s tough sometimes to bear the pain, to be in our senses. At that point in time, my birthing partner will help me, boost me not to give up.
I chose my husband as my birthing partner. I love him a lot!!!! He is my backbone in every twists and turns of my life.
Let me share with you some more roles and responsibilities of a birthing partner:-
Moreover, sometimes doctors ask to make some decisions depending on the current situation of the mother or the baby. During this time it’s the birthing partner who takes the call. Therefore, it is very critical that the birthing partner must know each and every small thing about my pregnancy.
I always take my husband with me to the doctor so that he is aware of the instructions the doctor has given me and to him.
SOME SMALL ACTIONS YOU SHOULD TAKE:-
Here are some of the important things that you should do when you discover you are pregnant.
I hope new mommies will now be clear about whom to choose as your birthing companion or birthing partner and what all responsibilities your birthing partner must perform.
Happy labour!
