@anasuyaww: Would your partner know what to do if your baby arrived before help did? . On May 10, 2021, Troy Campbell and his wife Erika were heading to the hospital in Ontario, Canada, when their daughter Nova decided to make her entrance into the world. . What followed was an unforgettable birth, captured on camera and shared with the world. . Troy's voice reveals just how overwhelming those moments were. But even through his fear, he reached out for help, listened to instructions, and stayed beside his wife. . This story raises a question I wish more couples would consider before labor begins. . Why do we prepare women for childbirth while so often leaving their partners unprepared? . Birth education is not just for mothers. Partners benefit from understanding the stages of labor, recognizing when birth is imminent, communicating with emergency services, and knowing how to offer meaningful support. . Research supports the value of companionship during childbirth. . The World Health Organization recommends that every woman have access to a companion of her choice during labor and birth. Research has associated continuous support with improved birth experiences and outcomes. .The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also recognizes the benefits of continuous labor support and encourages partners to learn practical ways to assist. . After 37 years supporting births, I believe preparation should include everyone who plans to be present when a baby arrives. . Send this to an expecting father or birth partner. . And if you're pregnant and want to prepare together, contact me for childbirth education and birth support. .
