5 Dynamite Ways to Show Mom You Are on the Ball During Delivery:

5 dynamite ways to show mom you are on the ball during delivery:

1. Have the route to the hospital planned out. Have her bag ready and bring it with her doctor’s information and insurance card. The bag should also have a phone charger (consider picking up an extra-long cord!) and a plug, essential toiletries, a comfy sweatshirt, some playing cards, or her favorite pastime game.

2. Upon arrival, let the hospital staff know your birthing plan, meds or no meds, and support your wife if she changes her mind at any point.

3. Be ready to stand up for your wife with any issues that may arrive during the time in the hospital. Talk to the nurse or doctor as her advocate. You are her support system. Be controlled but assertive.

4. Have an infant car seat in place. It’s a must.

5. Be willing and don’t get your feelings hurt if your wife gets upset with you. Be strong and help her get through. Eye contact, breathing together, and letting her squeeze your hand goes a long way!
