Throughout the history of Western Civilization fathers have had
very different attitudes and approaches to childbirth and labor.
This book explores these views and offers new insights for the
parents who wish to redefine what it means to be involved during
birth. The problem facing fathers in regards to their roles, needs,
and expectations during pregnancy and birth needs to be addressed
first. A good starting point is to analyze the current and
extremely limited roles of coach, witness, and bystander. No
distinctions are made as to where the birth takes place, and
include any and all locations where the birth may happen. After the
narrow views of how fathers can interact with laboring mothers are
broken down - new roles are proposed that fathers may adopt or
adapt. These are meant to both support the mother emotionally and
to make the father more active in the pregnancy and birth process.
