It\u003cbr\u003edoesn’t matter what the circumstances, when a new baby\u003cbr\u003ecomes into the world, it is a true miracle. As is expected,\u003cbr\u003emuch of the focus in the delivery room is on the woman.\u003cbr\u003eAfter all, she is the one who is enduring the pain of\u003cbr\u003echildbirth. What many people don’t consider is that the men\u003cbr\u003ein the delivery room have their own issues as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears ago, men weren’t allowed in the delivery room.\u003cbr\u003eGuys were relegated to the waiting room, left to pace a hole\u003cbr\u003ein the floor as they waited for their offspring to be born.\u003cbr\u003eToday, however, there has been an enormous shift in\u003cbr\u003etradition, with 90 per cent of dads now taking a hands-on\u003cbr\u003eapproach in the birthing process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe journey begins not only with conception but with\u003cbr\u003echoosing the nursery furniture, picking out names, and\u003cbr\u003etaking Lamaze classes. Even with the best of training, guys\u003cbr\u003emay still feel out of place when attending the birth of a child.\u003cbr\u003eWith the advent of birthing rooms taking the place of the\u003cbr\u003esterile operating room, grandparents, uncles, friends, and\u003cbr\u003eeven siblings are invited into the birth experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObviously you cannot know exactly what it feels like to\u003cbr\u003ecarry and birth a newborn; however, you can learn as much\u003cbr\u003eas possible about all the stages of pregnancy, labor,\u003cbr\u003edelivery, and newborn bonding. Perhaps once you\u003cbr\u003eunderstand the prenatal class basics you might start having\u003cbr\u003edoubts about how you will be able to handle it all. Try to set\u003cbr\u003ethose uncomfortable thoughts aside. Studies show that men\u003cbr\u003eare more likely to get and stay involved in the care and\u003cbr\u003enurturing of their children if they are present at the births.","brand":"Nook Ebook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073526972656,"sku":"2940012519566","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012519566_p0.jpg?v=1763570002","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012519566","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
