The Birth Partner Episode Everyone Needs To Hear with Gordon from MANtenatal

What role does a birth partner REALLY play during labour?

In this episode, I’m joined by Gordon from MANtenatal to talk about advocacy, oxytocin, men’s mental health and why birth partners can completely change a woman’s birth experience when they feel informed, confident and prepared.

We unpack:

- Why birth isn’t a “spectator sport”

- How birth partners can advocate calmly in labour

- The BRAIN tool for making informed decisions

- Protecting oxytocin during birth

- Practical ways to support women through contractions

- Men’s mental health in the postpartum period

- Why better birth education for dads is SO needed

This is such a powerful conversation and honestly one I’d really recommend listening to WITH your birth partner
