I’ve been at births full of chaos. Everyone is talking or yelling at mom, trying to get to her listen to what they’re trying to say. At this point, she usually panics and all the voices merge to one big roar of noise. But one voice can usually break through the chaos. Yours!
Women usually listen to their partner’s voice above everyone else’s. They’ll listen to it above the doctor they’ve only met a few times, and the nurse who was a stranger up until a few hours ago. If her eyes are getting big and everyone’s yelling, get as close to her as possible, look her in the eyes and echo what the nurses or doctors are saying. Make sure you speak calmly, maintain eye contact and she’ll listen.
