Over the centuries, people's different attitudes towards birth. In practice pagan priests took birth. Used different magical rites, drugs, herbs. Hippocrates was engaged in training midwives, considering natural childbirth process, in which there should be no place for fear and pain. He was sure that the birth of the child shall be a natural way, and doctors recommended not to interfere in its course. A very long time men were forbidden to be present at birth. Midwives could only help pastors and shepherds. German scientist Weiss 400 years ago was burned at the stake for being secretly disguised as a midwife, has studied the process of childbirth.

Many men refuse to attend the birth. And no matter what the reasons are not expressed, the main thing - they are afraid. And fear not only for his beloved wife and the future of the baby, but also for themselves.

To avoid this, the husband is recommended to be at the bedside of his wife and watch how the very process of giving birth. This busy physicians. A husband can keep his wife's hand, saying sweet words of his beloved, to maintain emotionally, give confidence in a successful outcome. Sometimes doctors duringthe presence of her husband at birth put shirmochka to keep his nerves. Sometimes allow his father cut the umbilical cord.
After the birth of the baby, put it to her mother's chest. This is a very touching moment, the pope sees his beloved woman realizes - she's a mother. Once, my father let you watch as doctors wash their baby, shall be measured, checked reflexes, swaddled. And then, finally, pass on his hands.
