Thanks Melinda,
 
That's a start. I'm simply not sure how well researched fathers in particular, are. I just believe that the active birth movement of the 80's is over  and we should now be giving 'permission' for reluctant Dads not to have to be there.
 
regards,
Robin

Hi Robin
Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for - its not so scientific - however it is among the best stuff on Dads in birth that I've read.
Try the book "Birthing from Within" Pam England and Rob Horowitz. She's a psychotherapist/midwife - who has done much work on the emotional dynamics within the birthing space.
 
Blessings
Melinda

Subject: Dads in labour

I am looking at doing some research into the adverse effects a reluctant Dad can have on the course of a labour, and the way a woman might alter her behaviour so that HE might cope.
Does anyone know of any resources that might be addressing this?
 
thank you.
 
Robin
