My sister is(she thinks) in early labour at home. All very exiting but I am starting to realise I have no idea how to be a birth partner. Her husband will also be there. She is very laid back, doesn't have a birth plan, and has said she would like to have a water birth if possible. Both of my births were traumatic. One a preemie and both emergency sections so I don't have any experience with a vaginal birth.
Any advice on what I can/should or shouldn't do. She is amazing and I want to anything I can(I know not much) for her and the baby.
