We give birth together? Advantages and disadvantages? Fear or support? "Joint birth: what do doctors say?" - the topic of our today's article.

Recently in Russia more and more young families prefer joint births. Today it is difficult to surprise anyone with the desire of future parents to give birth together. If a married couple conceived her child in love and understanding, then their desire is quite understandable, and only the approval deserves. Affiliate births are not just an indifferent presence of a man near a woman in labor during childbirth. No passive observers, all are active participants in the birth of a child. The role of the future father during the joint birth is almost the same as the role of the mother. Parents who together have gone through such an important event for each family and subsequently raise the child in universal love and understanding. Positive experience during partnering with your husband can be one of the most memorable moments of life.
The path to conscious parenthood begins to form in everyone's childhood, and is built on the example of relationships with parents (not always positive, but this is also an experience), relationships with a loved one. It is during the joint birth that the true relationship of the spouses manifests itself. But do not go to joint births in order to solve any family problems, in this way you can not only aggravate them, but also put the normal course of the generic process. Therefore, it is necessary to talk in advance with each other, sincere relations between spouses in this matter are very important. So before you go to this step, ask yourself the question: "Why do I need this?"
It happens that couples who have undergone joint birth are greatly disappointed in them, and this can happen if one does not fully understand their motives and desires. There are women who want to improve relationships in the family, to show the spouse through what torment she has to go through, or to hope that after the joint birth the pope will take a more active part in caring for the baby.

But these are all not motives, because such motivation is likely to lead to negative results, and the man will simply move away from you and the baby. It is not necessary to persuade her husband to attend childbirth, if he does not want it. Many men are simply fighting and consider the birth to be purely feminine.
It is desirable that the spouses are trained for partner birth. Now there are many specialized courses for women in childbirth and their partners. For a normal course of labor, the husband should be aware of, imagine the stages of childbirth.
The main motive for a woman to invite her husband for a birth is a desire to feel the support of a loved one. The husband should provide moral support, calm his wife, help as needed, conduct a massage that reduces pain.
Most often, when they talk about partner births, they mean a spouse, but it's not. A partner in childbirth can be a mother or sister. But in any case, it should be a woman who has already passed through the birth, it will be easier to help the mother in childbirth.
The fact that the future father will participate in childbirth, each couple decides for themselves. There are families in which parents undergo all pregnancy and childbirth hand in hand. In such a situation, the father actively helps in childbirth, and also, in a consequence, takes an active part in the care of the newborn.

In other families, a decision is made about the presence of the pope in the prenatal ward, during the labor, and the father does not go directly to the birth, he will be reunited with the family immediately after the birth of the baby. Some of the men are not ready to go on childbirth, but they can not wait to see their baby and stay the first few days in the hospital with his wife. There are cases, the presence of the father and in the operation of cesarean section, when the pope took care of all the care for the newborn, while the mother departs from anesthesia. Each family chooses a suitable option for themselves. The most important thing is that the choice of partner births is fully informed and voluntary.
No wonder they say: "Happy parents have happy children." All nine months they together prepare for a birth of the long-awaited child, with love care of each other and about not yet born toddler. And truly, the greatest magic of love is the birth of a new life, which is met by loving her mother and father.
