Away We Go - The Pain Is So Enlightening Clip (via FocusFeatures)
My husband and I watched “Away We Go” last weekend. I was sort of blown away by the line, “Midwives and Doulas are for women whose husbands are clueless and don’t want to be involved…” What? Have you ever heard such nonsense?! Had this been a real family, I’m afraid this daddy would be in for the surprise of his life.
Truly involved daddies often jump at the opportunity to home birth, to catch the baby, to be able to fully cooperate in care decisions with his wife and their support team — instead of negotiating with hospital staff to honor their birth preferences — or even decide with the mother to birth their child in the same privacy he or she was conceived.
Look for us to feature some links and stories especially for dads about the benefits of home birth.
