Send us a textEvery birth has a moment that feels impossible. For many women, it comes right before the pushing stage — a sudden rush of overwhelm, doubt, or fear. This is what I call 'The Wobble'.In this episode of The Ultimate Birth Partner Podcast, I’m diving deep into this essential topic. You’ll learn:What the Wobble really is — why it happens, when it usually shows up, and how to recognise itWhy it’s not a crisis, but a turning point in labourWhat partners can do in the moment to support her with calm, strength, and reassuranceThe words and actions that help most (and the ones to avoid)How to protect the birth space so she feels safe, supported, and able to move through itThe Wobble can sound like:* 'I can’t do this anymore'.* 'Something’s wrong'.* 'I want to stop'.But instead of signalling failure, these words often mean she’s closer than ever to meeting her baby. With the right support, the wobble passes — and she finds her strength again.If you’re a birth partner, this episode is also for you.
