Topic - Dads at Birth (a how-to workshop)
Most men are surprised to discover that childbirth is not a spectator sport, that they can personally influence the pace of the birth and that poor form on their part can in fact make labour more painful for their partner. This session is perfect for expectant dads who want to learn how to support their partner through birth and will cover practical skills for how fathers can support their partner through labour and birth including what to expect from the dad's perspective at each stage of labour.
