Pregnancy is a time of intimacy and beauty not only for a woman, but also for the future father. Often couples come to give birth together, and their expectations are slightly different from reality.

Gynecologist Maria Afanasyeva said that doctors do not allow a man to stand on the birth canal side. The future father does not see all the details and the intimate process.

If a couple's contract for a couple's birth stipulates that the husband cuts the baby's umbilical cord, then the baby is placed on the mother's stomach and the father does this.

This means that a woman should not worry about her beloved seeing the whole process in detail. You need to understand what kind of man you have.

Some women believe that the husband will be a helper during childbirth, but more often it happens the other way around. The man either irritates the woman during childbirth because she expects help, and the father does not know how to help, or the partner is so active that the woman pretends to be a martyr.

There are rarely adequate moments in couple births. Doctors are not against men being present at births. There are great dads who behave wonderfully with their wives during the process, and also morally support the entire team of doctors.

But most often, due to the man's unwillingness to prepare for the process of childbirth, it does not look like the woman in labor dreams. If the expectant mother and father decide to go through this stage together, it is worth attending childbirth preparation courses.
