Watching a labouring woman working hard and feeling uncertainty about the process can be an intense experience for partners. In this video Cal talks about how he managed to keep himself calm throughout the labour.

Taking short breaks and a few minutes to get some fresh air and clear your head, can allow you to be more present for the labouring woman. The vibe you bring to the birth space as a partner has a big impact on the birthing woman, so making sure that you aren't bringing in worry, panic or even boredom can do wonders for the vibe in the room.
