Childbirth Connection also has an excellent handout titled Comfort in Labor. It is by Penny Simkin and it has TONS of great line drawings and covers a lot of labor support material in 14 pages. For partners looking for ideas of how to support women in labor, this is almost like a really quick doula training!

What is a doula?

A doula is a labor support professional trained to support birthing women physically and emotionally. She is a non-medical care provider who offers continuous one-on-one care during labor and birth.
