About Attending Childbirth
It is a special time for the whole family to welcome the baby’s birth together. This is a delivery style in which family members enter the delivery room from the onset of labor through birth, allowing them to experience the moment the baby is born jointly. You can share the unique emotions of attending the birth, from supporting and encouraging the mother during labor to holding the baby for the first time.
