For a young man, there is nothing like the first moments after finding out he is going to be father. For me it was a combination of excitement and fear all rolled up into a big smile, tear filled eyes, and a nervous sweat. Daddy Doula-ish was inspired by my experiences as a partner to my wife during the pregnancy and childbirth of our three daughters. DADDY DOULA - A 21st Century Father's Approach to Pregnancy and Child Birth was created to challenge expecting fathers to become connected so they have a more profound experience during the pregnancy and childbirth. Daddy Doula's goal is not for the expecting father to be a professional birth coach, but to be a partner who is present and active during the pregnancy and childbirth. The book provides all the relevant medical terms and concepts to make the father familiar with the labor and delivery process. It also provides activities like DIY projects, choosing a doctor and hospital, health and fitness activities, and creating a birth plan to provide mechanisms to ensure an emotional connection with his partner. To help the expecting father contribute during labor and delivery, the book provides techniques like massage, meditation, and coaching phrases to help the mother cope with the grueling pain and emotional vulnerability of childbirth. To tie the concepts of the book together, the last few chapters are provided to demonstrate to the readers that an everyday guy can take on the role of a partner in the delivery room. I use these chapters to pull back the curtain and let the reader look into the labor and delivery room where each of my daughters was born. I provide an intimate and detailed account of the birth process, coping techniques used, personal frustrations experienced, and the labor decisions made for each birth. I believe with the information and the stories provided in Daddy Doula-ish, any father can become the positive force that can encourage his partner through a vaginal unmedicated child birth. By the end of the book, men will have a way to be a part of a life-experience most of them would have taken for granted. Mostly they will be inspired to be an active father. They will want to be a Daddy Doula. If you want to ask me questions directly go to www.daddydoulaish.com

The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

"In Do Fathers Matter? the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn overturns the many myths and stereotypes of fatherhood as he examines the latest scientific findings on the parent we've often overlooked. Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and developmental psychologists, among others, Raeburn takes us through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood--and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves."--www.Amazon.com.
