Childbirth is a woman's duty that is not easy. You as a husband may not be able to imagine how painful it is when your wife tries to give birth to your child. Therefore, you should accompany your wife when she gives birth. Your wife definitely needs your presence to overcome fear before labor.
You as a husband can do the following things to help your wife overcome fear before labor.
Ask the wife what she wants
You may need to talk to your wife before delivery. Know well what your wife wants and doesn't want during labor. Remember, something unexpected happens sometimes during labor and you are the one who has to decide.
In addition, you also need to provide all the needs of your wife before labor, such as clothes. Providing your wife's favorite food while in hospital may also need to be done. Food can help a little to overcome fears before labor that is felt by the wife. Also, it can reduce fatigue and provide energy. Remember, labor is very energy intensive, so your wife needs a lot of energy from food. Also remind your wife to drink lots of water.
Play your wife's favorite song
Listening to songs or music is one way that can make someone feel more calm and relaxed. Play your wife's favorite song while waiting for labor. Natural sounds, such as the sound of birds singing, the sound of the waves of the sea, or the sound of the wind may also help your wife to focus on the waves of contractions that occur in the womb. Listening to songs can also slightly distract your wife's mind from the pain.
Put aromatherapy in the wife's treatment room
In addition to sound, the aroma can also help calm your wife so that the fear before labor decreases slightly. Certain scents can indeed have a calming effect. You can put aromatherapy or fragrances that your wife likes in your wife's treatment room. Aromatherapy with the aroma of lavender or geranium oil can make the wife more calm, also to keep the air fresh.
Continue next to him
Continuing to be next to your wife before labor or after delivery is a very thing that can reduce the fear of the wife before delivery. Your existence as a husband is irreplaceable. If you are accompanying your wife before delivery, do not forget to touch your wife. Touch can help calm your wife, reduce her fears, and help relax tense muscles. You can also massage your wife's body parts, such as legs and back, to reduce her fears and give her comfort.
Take him for a walk while waiting for the opening
Time to wait for labor may be a painful time. At this time, your wife will feel contractions coming and going. To keep it comfortable, invite your wife to keep moving. You can accompany your wife to take a walk in the hospital garden. This can make your wife a little better through each process before labor.
Convince the wife he will be fine
Keep on encouraging your wife. Assure him that he is a great person and must be able to get through this. Don't forget to do your job during labor, which is to keep your wife focused on contractions in the uterus. Hold your wife's hand and ask your wife to see your eyes stay focused.
Help your wife to keep her breathing pattern (you might also need to practice it with your wife). And, restore your confidence every time your wife starts thinking that he can't get past this. Remember, your wife may depend on you during labor. You who can keep making it feel strong and capable.
