The Labor Coping Scale Poster is a clear, visually engaging teaching resource designed to help expectant mothers, support partners, and clinical staff think about coping during labor in a holistic, practical way. Instead of focusing on numeric pain ratings alone, this poster uses a coping-centered scale that illustrates outward cues — such as breathing, relaxation, focus, and vocalization — to show how well a laboring mother is managing sensations and comfort techniques.
This poster is well suited for childbirth classes, prenatal education programs, hospitals, clinics, doula practices, and other healthcare or community settings where visual learning supports confident discussion, assessment, and skill-building.
This poster includes:
- A visual coping scale that illustrates coping responses during labor
- Descriptive language that shifts the focus from pain intensity to coping behaviors
- Observable cues to help partners, and staff recognize and support changes in coping
- A practical tool to guide conversations about comfort strategies and when additional support may be helpful
The Labor Coping Ideas Poster is included in the Childbirth Education Poster Set and complements the comfort techniques taught in our Preparing for Birth and Finding Comfort parent books.
