Birth attendants, childbirth assistants, labor support professionals or birth companions, support the birthing person and partner. The support provided is emotional, physical, non-medical and informational during pregnancy, labor, birth, and immediately after the arrival of the newborn.
A birth attendant does not replace the partner. Instead, they enhance and support of the partner, so he/she/they/them can be be there for and support the laboring and birthing person. A birth attendant helps take the pressure off of the partner to facilitate and support the experience.
The birth assistants role is to assist with the transition from being pregnant to being with baby after it journey to this world.
Research shows that with a birth attendant, birthing people have:
- Shorter labors
- A reduced risk of cesarean birth
- Fewer medical interventions
- Healthier babies
- Better breastfeeding success
- Less postpartum depression
