Men, Love, & Birth

The Book About Being Present at Birth That Your Pregnant Lover Wants You to Read

By: Mark Harris

Narrated by: Mark Harris

There's a wealth of information out there for expectant moms on pregnancy and birth, but so often the dad is left out of the conversation. Male midwife Mark Harris seeks to redress the balance with this new book, drawing on his decades of experience with couples as they make the transition to being new parents. Covering topics from massage to sex and pain relief during labor to breastfeeding, this is a lively, honest, and frank discussion of pregnancy and birth from a man's point of view. Mark explores how to harness the power of birthing hormones, how to remain calm and aware in the birthing room, how to communicate effectively, and ultimately how to live the process of becoming a father.

Excellent choice for fathers-to-be at every level

This book will help you to better understand your male supportive role throughout the entire birthing process, no matter what stage you're at. Even if you've had children before, you'll be amazed at how much there is yet to learn. This book is complete and easy to listen to. The author is the narrator which automatically gets my respect.

a MUST read for any partner!! OMG Mark..fantastic!

As a birth educator, this is now a pre read for any partner coming into the birth process. While it's male specific, I find that these same characteristics needs and acknowledgments are with any gender of partner. Connection in the pregnancy, labor and birth process is key to our babies having beautiful experiences. An amazing job Mark! Thank you for putting your heart and soul into this work..

Straight forward and helpful.

A quick listen and definitely worth the time and the money. I enjoyed the genuine writing style and feel like Mark gets it, probably because he does and he makes it easy to relate to what he is sharing. Great easy listen with lots of solid gold advice and simple techniques to make the birthing and pregnancy experience better. He also clearly communicates concepts in a way that are easy to understand and very helpful. I will be recommending this to all fathers to be. Thank you Mark!
