Words hold power. Whether they are negative or positive, words can make a real impact on a person’s life, especially during childbirth. If your partner’s love language is words, plan in advance by writing down empowering things that you can say to show your support and love for her. Your words will provide comfort and strength to carry on.

Ways to support her…

    • Give compliments

    • Buy a journal and write down your favorite things about her, read from it while she’s in labor

    • Send nice texts or sweet voice messages in the weeks leading up to her due date

    • Create a playlist with songs that describe how you feel about her

    • Engrave jewelry with a sweet note

    • Leave surprise notes around the house

    • Write love letters

    • Say, “I love you because...”

    • Say nice things about her in front of other people

    • I love you

    • You are doing so well

    • You are so strong and beautiful

    • You are safe

    • I’m really proud of you

    • You can do this! You’ve got this!

    • You’re such an incredible mother

    • You were made for this
