A midwife took the floor to help birth partners be real supports for their wives in labor. And his advice is really helpful!
Childbirth is a moment sometimes dreaded but also eagerly awaited by couples who are expecting a child. Between contractions, partners can be real allies if they behave like one. A midwife recently told the worst sentences she has heard from future dads in the middle of the delivery room… And we can say that there were many nuggets, some are quite funny but others are really shocking! And yet, the role of the partner is not to be taken lightly.
A midwife grabbed her phone and posted a video on her Tik Tok account to warn about the behavior of birth partners. Under the nickname @mamadinyashe gives valuable advice for pregnant women but also for their spouses. And in the video titled “Birthing Partners I Hate”she explains her annoyance towards those who do not recognize their limits. She also gives valuable advice…

She gives advice to partners who refuse to see their limits
The midwife begins by explaining: “The labor can be really hard and not just when the baby comes out. Your wife may bleed, there may be blood clots. It all sounds awful and it is. But let me tell you something, if the midwife tells you to sit down, sit down!” As Mamadinya tells it, she sees birth partners every day who refuse to accept their limitations and pass out or even vomit on their wives. Childbirth is a very complicated time to live, so you have to listen to the professionals as much as possible so that everything goes as well as possible.
With 1.5 million views on his video, we hope that his advice will be applied by as many people as possible. She tells : “A partner fainted after being told not to look when putting on the epidural. Another vomited on me when I warned him. Listening to us does not make you less human, on the contrary!” And in the comments, all the women agree with her: it is better to listen to advice and know your limits rather than ignore them.
