Has anyone got any tips for birthing partners?
My boyfriend has a habit of nervously laughing and making awkward comments when under stress. I have a feeling that he will want to say something about noises made during labour sounding a bit like noises made during sex. (once he totally disgusted a nurse by commenting this way about a patient in another room while we were at the emergency gyn ward during my ectopic pregnancy. I was so mad!)
I do want him there because he's otherwise good under pressure and a convenient source of oxytocin for me!
But yeah, any tips for him on how to act like a grown up?
