Recently, partner births are gaining more and more popularity. Today this is not just a fashionable trend, as it was 10 years ago, but constant practice in maternity hospitals. Which is not at all surprising, because people who have passed joint birth advise everyone around to follow their example.
The reasons families go to partner births can vary. Firstly, this is the traditional fear of women in childbirth before maternity hospitals. Pregnant women, getting acquainted with the experience of their predecessors, are afraid of rough treatment by the medical staff, they are afraid of replacing the baby, they simply do not want to be alone. The presence of a loved one will help in this situation to cope with psychological discomfort. Who else, if not her husband, gently takes the woman in labor by the hand and will gently talk to her in difficult times. Only a loving person knows what words need to be chosen in order to console and give confidence.Secondly, a husband in childbirth is not just moral support, but also an observer. Medical workers are reluctant to go to a partner birth, because in the presence of a husband they are forced to pay more attention to the woman giving birth than usual. Yes, and the future mothers themselves in this case feel and behave bolder and become more demanding of the work of medical staff.
Thirdly, during the period of labor and at the time of the birth of a child, women also need physical assistance. Men can do a massage that facilitates contractions, control the breath of a woman in labor, and just help to change clothes and climb onto the bed. In addition, it has long been observed that in the process of childbirth, many women better perceive what their husbands say, rather than doctors and midwives.-, , . , , , .

In addition, the program often includes a video that clearly shows how the birth takes place. After completing such a course, men better understand what to do during childbirth and how to help a future mother and baby.Thus, men in childbirth play a very important role. They are able to provide moral and physical support to their spouses. And the presence of the father at the time of the birth of the child makes this event truly family. Men who have already had a joint birth have the most positive reviews and they themselves call for giving birth only together.
