How My Body Wants to Be Supported During Birth

Birth does not need to be managed.

It needs to be supported correctly.

This guide is a deeply nuanced, Human Design–based orientation to how your specific body wants to be supported during labor and birth — based on your digestion/determination.

Rather than universal birth advice, this offering speaks to the conditions your nervous system needs to stay regulated, embodied, and instinctual during one of the most intense physiological experiences of your life.

Each guide is specific, practical, and grounded — designed to support:

• you

• your partner

• and/or your birth team

without overwhelming the birth space with information, technique, or fear.

This is not about “doing birth right.”

It’s about protecting the conditions that allow your body to do what it already knows.

What’s Included:

Each determination-specific guide includes:

• A clear orientation to how your digestion processes intensity

• What your body needs during labor to stay regulated

• What supports labor progression for your determination

• What commonly disrupts the process

• How your partner or main support person can best support you

• Simple, grounded language — no birth drama, no performance

• A short intro page and gentle disclaimer to frame the work responsibly

These guides are designed to be:

• read ahead of time

• shared with your partner or support team

• returned to as a grounding reference

No live support.

No emotional processing.

No fear-based narratives.

Just clarity.

Who This Is For:

This guide is for you if:

• you value personalized, body-based support

• you trust your inner authority more than generic advice

• you want birth preparation without overwhelm

• you want your partner to know how to support you without managing you

• you are drawn to Human Design as a tool for embodiment, not identity

You do not need to have a specific birth plan, location, or outcome in mind.

This work supports the body, not a storyline.

How to Choose Your Guide:

Each person has one digestion/determination.

Select the option that matches your Human Design chart.

This Guide is for:

Touch — Nervous

This guide supports bodies that regulate best through consistent contact and movement.

During birth, this determination thrives when reassuring touch and physical engagement are present, and can become disrupted when left alone or without contact.

This guide offers:

• determination-specific support needs

• what helps labor progress for this body

• what to avoid during labor

• clear partner/support-person guidance

Ideal if you recognize yourself as someone who:

• feels safer with hands-on support

• becomes anxious when untended
