What do you do when she's vomiting instead of laughing at your jokes? We help you make sense of what you're seeing: the bleeding, shaking, water breaking, moaning, crying.

Be her superhero
There's no way to replace you. She needs your love and fierce protection. With us by your side you don't have to be an expert in everything labor to be calm and centered.

In fact, you can be her superhero; you can be the one she remembers. When all the research you've done flies out the window, we'll be there to show you how to help her.
We were together.
I forget the rest
– Walt Whitman
