How can I help my wife through labor?

Offer emotional support

Never criticize your wife during labor. Resist the urge to play cheerleader ("C'mon, you can do it!") Instead, offer quiet reassurance that she's doing a great job. Choose your words carefully, being positive and to the point. You can never say "I love you" too often.
