Contents:

Introduction : men matter -- Alone among strangers : the medicalization of childbirth -- Keeping vigil : fathers in waiting rooms -- The best backrubber : fathers move into labor rooms -- He wants to know : prenatal education for fathers -- Peaceful and confident : mothers and fathers in labor rooms -- Side by side : men move into delivery rooms -- We did it : together in delivery and birthing rooms -- Epilogue : expectant fathers' expectations.

Summary: Using fathers' first-hand accounts from letters, journals, and personal interviews, along with hospital records and medical literature, this book offers a new perspective on the changing role of expectant fathers from the 1940s to the 1980s. It shows how, as men moved first from the hospital waiting room to the labour room in the 1960s, and then on to the delivery and birthing rooms in the 1970s and 1980s, they became progressively more involved in the birth experience and their influence over events expanded.
