Birth Partner Support: How This Labor Positions Guide Helps You Show Up Confidently

Let’s be honest: supporting someone through labor can feel overwhelming when you’re not sure what to do. You want to be helpful, encouraging, and involved—but it’s hard to know where to start. That’s exactly why I created A Doula’s Guide to Labor Positions.


This book wasn’t just made for birthworkers—it’s also designed to be a simple, grab-and-go tool for birth partners who want to show up well.


Skip the Guessing, Flip to a Page

Instead of relying on memory, frantic Googling, or unclear apps, you can open the book and flip to what you need in the moment. Each position includes:

  • A clear, easy-to-follow illustration

  • Notes on when and why to try it

  • Tips on how to assist or offer support

  • Modifications if your partner has an epidural, is tired, or needs hands-off options

You Don’t Have to Remember Everything

You don’t need to be an expert in birth. You just need tools that speak your language. This guide breaks things down with short explanations and visual cues so you can:

  • Offer options with confidence

  • Suggest something new when things stall or get tough

  • Feel useful even if you’ve never been to a birth before


You Matter Too

Birth can be intense for partners. This book helps you feel anchored and ready—not just for your loved one’s sake, but for yours, too. When you have a plan and a purpose, it’s easier to stay calm and present. If a doula is not present, partners can also glean ideas on how to help by trying support techniques offered in the "How a Doula Can Help" section listed on each position page.

Pack It in the Birth Bag

Spiral-bound and the size of a notebook, it’s easy to toss into your hospital bag, doula bag, or partner prep kit. And if you’re more digital? There’s an ebook version too.



You don’t need to know everything—you just need to show up with heart and the right tools. No matter how labor unfolds, having the right tools—and a little birth partner support—can make all the difference.
