She has a job during labor. You do too.

Most birth partners are not unprepared because they don’t care.

They’re unprepared because no one ever hands them a playbook.

I created The Birth Partner Kit - Hospital Edition to change that.

As a husband and father, I know how easy it is to care deeply about your wife and still feel unsure about what to do when labor begins. I created this kit to help you understand your role before contractions start, so you aren’t standing on the sidelines wondering how to support her.

I wrote Give Her the Freedom to Birth Naturally after walking through three birth experiences with my wife, Kaylee, including a hospital birth that ultimately ended in a cesarean. Looking back, I realized how many decisions were made in real time while we were exhausted, overwhelmed, and trying to understand what was happening around us.

My goal with this kit is simple:

I want to help you walk into the birth room more prepared than I was.

Who This Kit Is For

I created this Hospital Edition for couples who are planning to give birth in a hospital while hoping to preserve as much freedom, movement, physiologic labor, partner involvement, and informed decision-making as possible.

It is especially useful for:

•first-time fathers

•husbands who want to be more involved but don’t know where to begin

•couples hoping for a natural or low-intervention hospital birth

•birth partners who want practical ways to support the laboring mother

•dads who do not want to spend labor standing beside the bed feeling helpless

Inside the Birth Partner Kit

1. The Birth Partner Playbook

Give Her the Freedom to Birth Naturally

This is my complete digital book for husbands and birth partners.

I share the story of our hospital birth, the lessons I learned from it, and the role I believe a birth partner can play in protecting his wife’s peace, comfort, nourishment, movement, confidence, and ability to participate in decisions throughout labor.

Inside, I cover topics including:

•understanding your role during labor

•preparing before labor begins

•protecting a calm birth environment

•helping her eat, drink, rest, move, and conserve energy

•supporting her physically through contractions

•counter pressure and hands-on comfort

•encouragement during intense labor

•hospital timelines and routines

•asking better questions when interventions are suggested

•understanding how one decision can influence the next

•supporting her during pushing

•protecting the first moments after birth

•continuing your role into the immediate postpartum period

The central idea of the book is simple:

Your job is not to control birth. Your job is to support and protect the woman doing the work.

Throughout the book, I return to the importance of protecting her peace, confidence, nourishment, rest, movement, and ability to listen to her own body.

2. The Counter Pressure Play

Video Demonstration

Reading about counter pressure is one thing.

Seeing exactly how to do it is another.

In this private video, Kaylee and I demonstrate practical counter-pressure techniques and positioning so you can see:

•where to place your hands

•how to use your body weight effectively

•different positions the laboring mother can use

•how to adjust pressure based on her feedback

•how counter pressure can become a practical hands-on support tool during contractions

I specifically encourage birth partners to learn and practice counter pressure before labor begins rather than trying to figure it out in the moment.

The kit includes access to the private video demonstration through a clickable link and QR code.

3. Sample Birth Game Plan

A customizable starting point for your birth preferences

Don’t wait until labor to decide what matters to you.

I created the Sample Birth Game Plan as a starting point you and your partner can copy, change, remove from, or build upon as you discuss the kind of birth you are hoping for.

Use it to think through topics such as:

•movement and positioning

•comfort measures

•monitoring and routine procedures

•interventions

•pushing

•immediate skin-to-skin

•newborn care

•what questions you want asked if plans change

I encourage couples to discuss their plan together ahead of time rather than leaving one partner to carry the entire burden of preparation.

4. Game Day Quick Guide

A one-page labor support reference

Labor is not the time to remember everything you read three months ago.

I created the Game Day Quick Guide to give you a simple reference you can keep on your phone or print ahead of time.

It includes reminders for:

•supporting her throughout labor

•nourishment and hydration

•comfort during contractions

•movement and positioning

•protecting the labor environment

•questions to ask when an intervention is proposed

•what to do when she says, “I can’t do this”

•supporting her during pushing

•protecting the first moments after birth

This is the page you can glance at when labor gets intense and your brain suddenly forgets everything you thought you knew.

Don’t Make Her Carry All the Preparation

During labor, she is already doing the hardest physical work.

She should not also have to teach you how to support her, remind you what you discussed, research every recommendation in the moment, and carry the entire mental load of the birth.

I believe the birth partner’s role is to stand in that gap - to learn beforehand so she does not have to carry that burden alone.

Prepare together.

Practice together.

Make your game plan together.

Then, when labor begins, you can focus on the thing that matters most:

being there for her.

This kit reflects my own experiences, research, thoughts, and opinions as a husband and father. My goal is not to make your decisions for you. I want to encourage you to learn, ask questions, prepare together, and walk into birth understanding your role.

Every pregnancy and birth is different. This material is educational and is not a substitute for individualized medical care or emergency evaluation.
