What is a partner playbook during contractions and why use one?
A partner playbook during contractions is a short set of actions and phrases that keep the birthing parent calm, make decisions fast, and record key events. It reduces noise and helps with timing, packing, and communicating with your care team.
Which two-word updates are best when contractions get close?
Use concise pairs like 'Pack up', 'Call midwife', 'Go now', 'Breathing steady' to signal urgency and next steps without long explanations.
How should I log medical notes versus emotional notes?
Use short tags: MED for clinical issues, EMO for feelings. Timestamp each line, keep it one sentence, and note actions taken such as 'CALL midwife 10:12'.
When exactly should we leave for the hospital?
At the 5-1-1 pattern (or your provider's rule, such as 4-1-1), call your midwife or maternity unit and get ready to go. Go now if contractions are closer than about three minutes apart or very strong, or with any red flag: bleeding, waters breaking, reduced movements or severe constant pain. Direct advice from your midwife always comes first.
