Because pain can make you forget and reflexively start breathing quickly, intensively, hastily, dog-like, which can cause hyperventilation (excessive supply of oxygen due to a disturbed breathing rhythm), your spouse or partner should be able to breathe properly himself. Then, during a difficult period for you, you will be able to rely on his advice and only repeat the rhythm of correct breathing after your partner, trust his instructions.
