- receive important information about the postpartum period, breastfeeding, interaction with the newborn

- PARTNER CHILDBIRTH
Throughout your pregnancy, you felt support in joy and anxiety, you were surrounded and supported by your husband, family, friends and girlfriends, colleagues. The decisive hour is approaching – childbirth. Is it really that at the crucial moment of your life, instead of close and familiar faces, there will be friendly, but still unfamiliar faces of medical staff? Now parting with loved ones, even for a short time, at the doors of our maternity hospital becomes optional, because partner childbirth is becoming increasingly popular, when, in addition to doctors, a close person is with the woman in labor: husband, mother, sister.
The future father in the delivery room is no longer exotic, but an almost generally accepted phenomenon. Thinking about joint childbirth, it is worth considering that serious events in the life of the family are better experienced together by the spouses: childbirth is a very serious event. And this is a strong argument in favor of the presence of the future father at childbirth.
The decision about joint childbirth should not be made at the last moment and in a hurry. The place where you plan to give birth and the specialist you trust to manage the birth should be chosen carefully. And the decision about joint childbirth should mature, for this time is needed, no less than 2-3 months.
At the classes, future parents will receive simple and accessible information about how childbirth occurs, about different stages of this process, about the physiology of childbirth and the psychology of the woman in labor, will help dispel most fears about childbirth. It is easier for many men to imagine their participation in childbirth if they have an approximate birth plan drawn up in advance with their wife and specialists. On the one hand, this helps the future father to imagine the process more clearly, and on the other hand, when discussing the birth plan, you can discuss topics that concern you.
