Transition: The Storm Before the Calm
If labor has a breaking point, this is it.
Transition is intense; it’s fast, it’s raw- it’s often the moment she needs you most.
You might see:
⚠️ Shaking, chills, or nausea
⚠️ Panic or overwhelm
⚠️ “I can’t do this anymore” (she can—and is, but it doesn't feel like it to her)
⚠️ Wanting space—or clinging to you like a lifeline
This is where you don’t fix.
You anchor.
🧡 Keep your voice steady, even if hers isn’t
🧡 Stay close- hand on her back, breath in sync
🧡 Remind her: “You’re doing it.” “This is the hardest part.”
🧡 Don’t take her words personally—transition is where the filter goes out the window.
In this image, she's riding that wave. And he’s there—solid, quiet, present.
That kind of calm doesn’t go unnoticed. It gets remembered.
In this moment—just like the one in this photo—she’s doing the hardest work of her life.
And your job? To hold steady.
The good news? If she’s in transition, your baby is almost here.
You’re standing at the edge of something holy.
