The Convergence Handbook
5519 Ft
The Single Childbirth Handbook is for couples who are planning or already expecting a pregnancy and who want to experience the birth of their child together, i.e. who are planning a "fatherly birth", whether natural or by caesarean section.
Are you planning a baby or is the heir already on the way?
Mum: You want your partner to be there for the birth, it would be wonderful to share the experience with him/her, but you are afraid of how it will affect your relationship? Has your partner never seen you in such a vulnerable, altered state of consciousness? Are you worried about what will happen to your sex life afterwards? Are you afraid that you'll have to babysit him even though you're giving birth?
Apuka: Are you busy being there for the birth of your child, but also worried? Are you worried that you'll just watch helplessly as your partner suffers and you can't help? Do you hate the "medical environment", the sight of blood? Are you unsure whether you should be there but afraid that if you miss it, you will disappoint your partner or be very sorry?
This is a big decision in your life, and it's one to be made wisely and prepared.
The moment of labour and birth has an amazing significance, literally the start of life. There are so many ways to make it super fun, I want you to find the one that works best for YOU. I want it to be a wonderful experience for everyone involved in the process, mum, dad, baby and helpers alike.
What can you read about in this book?
- How fathers came to the delivery room - the story of fatherhood through history. Don't expect dry facts, but super exciting, engaging context. In this section, you'll find out why fathers were initially banned from attending, who was the first man to witness a birth
- How primitive peoples viewed pregnancy and childbirth and what the father's role was during this period of life
- Why do many fathers experience strange symptoms during their partner's pregnancy? I'll tell you all about the so-called couvade ritual and couvade syndrome, also with fascinating examples from around the world
- We review the theories of mind-bending concordance, from gentle birth to hypnosis
- I'll tell you about the results of both Hungarian and foreign research on uniparous birth
- In fact, I will also share the results of my own research on the relationship between the experience of pain as a parent and the presence of the father
- We go through exactly how the father can be involved in the birth, what to expect, with special reference to natural birth and caesarean section
- Here's what you need to talk through before you decide to have a session, to make it a wonderful memory for both of you
- I'll give you a concrete and practical "list" of what a father can do to help during childbirth
- You'll have a handy kit for your paternity birth, a list of what to take to the hospital and a mini-pack for the delivery room
- We talk about the signs of labour and the stages of childbirth, with a special focus on the responsibilities of the father
- What happens to you immediately after giving birth
- The gold watch and the paternal presence
- We also mention what happens if the father does not want to participate or if the mother does not want to be there
- You'll get countless real, authentic co-birth stories from our mums
- You'll also get fatherly reports
What is NOT in this book:
- no judgement
- no momshaming, no dadshameing
I don't care how you give birth, how many you give birth to, where, when, by caesarean or naturally, breastfeeding or not.... I care about one thing, that's why I wrote this book. The moment of labour and birth has an amazing significance, literally the start of life. I want it to be a wonderful experience for everyone involved in the process, mother, father, baby and helpers alike.
"At first I was afraid of it, afraid of what it would be like to see my wife suffer. But after reading the book, I felt more confident and all my doubts disappeared, I knew I wanted to be there for Bence's arrival. I don't regret it for a moment, it was one of the best decisions of my life." Erik, 42
"I hardly ever have time to read, and my partner used to put this book in my hands, and even read it to me in the evenings. Then one day he came home to find that I'd accidentally read the whole thing in my home office in the afternoon, so engrossed was I in the practical part. It really was everything we had planned, Barbi is now 4 months old and I feel a stronger bond with her and my wife - I have an amazing respect for what she has done for our child. There's no question that I'm going to want to be there for her little brother." Matthew, 37
"I would make this book a must for every obstetrician-gynecologist's office. Oh, and into your hands. It's one of those rare books that, if it reaches many, will move worlds. "Thomas, 50
"My husband was hesitant and I was angry and disappointed, feeling abandoned. I bought the book, Thomas read a lot of it and finally we were able to talk, to get closer, to understand each other better. I don't know if it will work out in the end, but I know for sure that whatever happens, I'm not alone. "Marcsi, 29
