Description: Men at Birth is a rich anthology of men’s birth experiences.   It shines a light on an area that is usually considered a taboo subject among men — their emotional and intellectual reactions to the birth of their own child.  As an obstetrician it has always been challenging to gauge how men actually feel about birth.  This book has given me a wealth of insight into how men feel and think about birth.   This will help me be a better obstetrician.  I commend this book to my colleagues and other birth professionals.
