There's a wealth of information out there for expectant moms on pregnancy and birth, but so often the dad is left out of the conversation. Male midwife Mark Harris seeks to redress the balance with this new book, drawing on his decades of experience with couples as they make the transition to being new parents. Covering topics from massage to sex and pain relief during labor to breastfeeding, this is a lively, honest, and frank discussion of pregnancy and birth from a man's point of view. Mark explores how to harness the power of birthing hormones, how to remain calm and aware in the birthing room, how to communicate effectively, and ultimately how to live the process of becoming a father.

I bought the book for the very serious reason of wanting to know more about how my partner is and will be feeling throughout the pregnancy, within the first pages I quickly found myself laughing. The author is knowledgeable but also hilarious at times, which makes a book so much easier to read.
I have also bought the audio track and find myself wanting to listen again, in every spare moment. I can envision the words being spoken as they are so clear and well described, the jargon is clarified and I feel smarter at the end of each chapter.
I'm now ready to better support my wife, so thank you Mark.

EVERYTHING I wanted to know, answered!

This book is a concise and readable overview of how to be a great birth partner. Great as an "all you need to know" book but also signposts to further reading if you wish. As a mother of 3 this is a book that I wish my husband had read.

It's no longer ok for dad's to take a sideline. equally, it's really hard to find that support for men to encourage this hands on approach to pregnancy. this book is a great way of finding comfort in what is still a little hostile territory for men. it's a must read. I also recommend getting a physical copy for the diagrams as well!

great book for dad's to be
