What to say to your friend who has anxiety deciding whether or not to have a medicated birth

Written By Genevieve Dreizen

These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.

I know you've been struggling with the decision about having a medicated birth, and I just want you to know that I see you and how much thought you're putting into the plans. Let me know if you want to talk it all out, I'm more than happy to listen, no-judgment, just an ear. I do know that whatever decision you end up making will be the right one for you and the baby, and I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to snuggle the babe!

Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
