Journal Article
Supporting the Laboring Woman Without Injuring Oneself
2007
Overview
The physical demands placed on labor support people, such as birth partners and birth doulas, are perhaps greater than on anyone else on the birth team, with the exception of the birthing mother. This article outlines nine guiding principles of self care and body mechanics to reduce the likelihood of injury to the labor support person. We have identified eight common labor support tasks and have photos demonstrating the improper and proper way of performing these tasks. Childbirth educators can help impart this knowledge to birth partners by weaving these guidelines throughout their childbirth preparation classes, while correctly modeling the safest way to perform these important tasks.
