Role of the support person during pregnancy and beyond (video)

What role can a support person play during pregnancy and after birth? This video explores how a support person can make a meaningful difference during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. It highlights ways to offer emotional support, assist with decision-making, and help with daily care. Being a supportive presence not only lightens the physical and emotional load on the pregnant person but also strengthens family bonds and promotes better mental health for everyone involved.
