Me and my partner have autism we are nervous about birthing our first I would love advice
I'm hoping for advice to help ease my partner into helping me stay calm through this he is a first time dad at 19 and I at 21 we have autism we sometimes get overstimulated and I want his support but I don't want everything to overwhelm us or me to overstimulated him any ideas or advice or birth story on how your partner supported you? I want to do waterbirth if that matters here but thats my plan hopefully
Having a supportive doula through your pregnancy and your labour could be a great idea! We had one and my husband is autistic. Our doula really held our hands and took a lot of the overwhelm off my husband during my labour and she really guided him
