B. THE ROLE OF THE FATHER DURING LABOUR AND DELIVERY

In the past, few men were present during delivery. Today, things have changed for the better and your partner probably wishes that you will be with her during labour and delivery. You made your baby together, and it is together that you should welcome your baby into the world.

However, for various reasons, some men prefer not to be present for the delivery. It is a very personal decision. If this is your case, discuss it with your partner and make her understand why you do not want to attend. Help her find a partner you both trust to be with her during labour and delivery.
