Birth Companion Programs

Birth Companion Programs are initiatives that encourage women to have a trusted person, such as a relative, friend, or trained birth supporter, present during labor and delivery. The presence of a companion provides emotional support, comfort, and encouragement, which can lead to better birth experiences and outcomes. These programs aim to promote a more humane, respectful, and personalized childbirth process by involving someone familiar with the woman's preferences and needs, ultimately helping to reduce anxiety, improve overall satisfaction, and support healthier labor and delivery.
