Birth is a team effort, and this session helps both the birthing parent and their partner feel confident, informed, and prepared for the important roles they’ll play during labor. Clients will learn how meaningful support can positively influence the birth experience, how partners can provide emotional, physical, and practical support throughout labor, and how doulas, partners, and care providers work together as a collaborative birth team.
This session also explores informed consent, patient rights, and effective decision-making during labor. Clients will learn how to ask questions, evaluate options, communicate with providers, and advocate for their preferences while maintaining positive relationships with their care team. Rather than creating fear around interventions or complications, this session provides balanced, evidence-based education about common labor scenarios so clients can approach birth with confidence, flexibility, and a deeper understanding of their choices.
Know exactly what to cover and when to cover it. The session outline provides a clear roadmap for the visit, including suggested timing, discussion topics, activities, and key learning objectives to help you lead a structured, engaging prenatal session with confidence.
Created specifically for doulas, this facilitator resource includes teaching notes, conversation prompts, suggested talking points, and practical guidance for leading meaningful discussions. It’s designed to help you feel prepared, stay on track, and confidently guide clients through the session, even if it’s your first time covering the topic.
Support learning beyond the session with thoughtfully designed client resources, reflection activities, and take-home materials. These tools encourage clients to process what they’ve learned, explore topics in greater depth, prepare for upcoming discussions, and continue meaningful conversations between visits.
Each visit builds on the last, guiding families through education, reflection, and preparation, step by step.
