Your partner's caesarean — what you actually do
More than four in ten babies in this country are now born by caesarean. And almost nobody gives the partner a guide for it.
A caesarean is a birth. It counts. And you matter in that room more than you think.
One page: what happens, what to say, what to ask, and the bit no one tells you — that the hard part isn't over when the baby's out. Written by Mark Harris, midwife of thirty years, and taken from Men, Love & Birth — the new edition.

What's inside
- First, the thing that matters most: a caesarean is a birth — and nobody gets to tell you otherwise. Including you.
- In the room: sit at her head. Hold her hand. Watch her face, not the screen.
- If it wasn't planned: the one line to lead with.
- Skin to skin: the standard, not a favour — and what to say to get it.
