  2. Advocating: Be an advocate for your partner’s wishes and preferences regarding labor and delivery.
  3. Assisting with Comfort: Help your partner with breathing techniques, massage, or other comfort measures.
  4. Preparing for the Unexpected: Stay calm and adaptable, ready to support your partner regardless of how the birth unfolds.
