Welcome

This site is dedicated to Men at Birth, a book by Phil and Genny White that is helping to educate men about childbirth and pregnancy. Many men are not interested in this topic. What they don't know is the women really want their involvement in this most important development in their lives. However due to poor socialization and education men generally are unable to know their place and what they need to do to protect their mate and their coming child. Men need to learn the significance of pregnancy and childbirth and how their support or lack thereof will effect the most significant relationship of their lives.

Why Would Men Care?

According to a recent study 90 percent of relationships between couples sours after the birth of a child. This is especially true if couples aren't married. Women often comment that when men are disconnected during pregnancy and childbirth that they feel betrayed and abandoned. Childbirth may be the most important experience in a woman's life and often elicits the strongest of emotional memories. When men fail to be supportive in this poignant season, they appear to their mates as insensitive and crass. However, this often results from men not knowing what they should or need to do to provide proper spiritual, physical and emotional support.

If you are reading this web page, you do care, and you should be commended. Our hope is to walk along side of you during this new adventure in life.
