Perform clinical tasks, such as blood pressure, fetal heart check, vaginal exams, and others.  I am there to provide only physical comfort, emotional support and advocacy.

Make decisions for you.  I will help you get the information necessary to make an informed decision.  I will also remind you if there is a departure from your Birth Plan.

Speak to the medical staff instead of you regarding matters where decisions are made.  I will discuss your concerns with you and suggest options, but only you or your partner will speak on your behalf to the clinical staff.
