The Dad's Playbook covers just enough information for the father-to-be to be prepared for labor and birth. Subjects include: taking pictures (make sure to talk with the hospital and your partner before hand), packing bags (for your partner, yourself, and the kids), setting ground rules for the birthing room, making friends with the hospital staff, protecting your partner's modesty, and helping your partner deal with the pain of childbirth. For the Dad who wants to be active in the birth, this book provides a plan for before, during, and after the birth.
