Labour is very hard on partners. They watch the person they love become tired, worried, painful and there is little seemingly they can do. This in turn can put pressure on you, as this all takes its toll on them, and you can see it in their face. Try to keep occupied, not just with chores to do, but fun things as well. Give them jobs to do. Get them to distract you through contractions, help you have a bath, go with you for a walk, read/chat to you. Give them space to go off for a bit and talk about how you both feel at the time.
