Amy’s husband, Drew, hops on the podcast today to talk about what labor and delivery is like from a partner’s perspective. Having been through three labor and deliveries together, Drew has some solid advice on how to be a supportive partner during an L&D experience. We also had a lot of really great questions come in from our IG followers that Drew and Amy discuss with raw and honest answers. If you are a partner listening to today’s episode, know that you are such an important part of the birthing process and we appreciate you!
If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @expectingandempowered. As we like to say, knowledge is power, and we just really want to give more people the information that they may need on their childbirth journey!
