A Concise Guide to Labor and Delivery for Fathers-to-Be

By Elaine Atwood Adler

The pending arrival of a baby is a wonderful time! It doesn't matter what the circumstances, when a new baby comes into the world, it is a true miracle. As is expected, much of the focus in the delivery room is on the woman. After all, she is the one who is enduring the pain of childbirth. What many people don't consider is that the men in the delivery room have their own issues as well.Years ago, men weren't allowed in the delivery room. Guys were relegated to the waiting room, left to pace a groove in the floor as they waited for their offspring to be born. Today, however, there has been an enormous shift in tradition, with 90 per cent of dads now taking a hands-on approach in the birthing process.So what's a guy to do? If you're the father to be, you have probably heard the horror stories. You're called every name in the book. You're blamed for everything from inflation to the price of gas to getting your gal in the situation she's in. It's normal. It's probably going to happen. But how do you deal with it? That's hard to say. But the birthing experience is still something every guy can - well, not exactly enjoy, but, at the very least, participate in.There are many things you can do to help the momma to be along the way to becoming a full-fledged mother. You may be confused - especially when things start getting a little frantic - and they will! With the help of this book, you'll be much more prepared for the birthing experience.In these pages, you'll be better prepared to help with back labor, understanding what happens in the birthing room, easing the pain of mom, and dealing with your own feelings of helplessness. It can be a daunting and scary experience, but you CAN get through it - just like SHE can!
