Childbirth Article for Him?

Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:31 am

My husband and I were discussing the impending birth of our baby and I realized, for the first time, that he really is completely clueless about what to expect. I want him to be prepared - but, not completely freaked out about what is coming. Has anyone found any good articles, directed at what fathers should expect in the delivery room. I'm hoping there is something that covers both natural and c-section childbirth (as we may end up with a c-section last minute)... I tried Google and didn't come up with anything I'd feel comfortable sharing with him -- everything seemed more humorous than useful. Perhaps my search terms weren't great. Any help someone could offer would be appreciated!

I don't have any articles but I do love watching A Baby Story on TLC and not sure if youre husband has the stomach for it or not but it doesn't usually get too gruesome and every story ends differently... vaginal delivery, c-section, some try for vag and get a c/s... etc

Hello I don't know if this is helpful but you can actually go on youtube and watch people give birth vaginally & via c-section...Its not an article but it is real. I have my husband watching some of the videos so he can be prepared for whenever we conceive a little one!!!!
