Midwifery Today Issue 51

Issue 51 - Fathers in Pregnancy and Birth

Autumn 1999 Theme: Fathers in Pregnancy and Birth
Subscribe/Order
Back Issues

Dads feel all kinds of ways about taking part in their children’s births: ambivalent, joyous, helpful, helpless, awed, scared, bonded, confused. In Issue 51, eleven articles about fathers’ involvement in birth address every conceivable angle to this increasingly popular birth option. Articles on ultrasound, natural family planning, the “call” to midwifery, placenta previa and much more round out the issue.
