For every soul we create, there is a soul that we felt a connection with first.

The one who helped us create life.

The one who watches on helplessly while the woman he loves, moans and howls through labor stages.

While we have always put each other first, mother nature drifts in to place him in the backseat while he watches them transform into one other. All without needing his assistance.

At every single birth I have attended, the men are in the background, even if they are up close with their women.

They are actually stronger than they realize.

That's a game face, right there. He looks so intense, yet a million miles away.

    Powerful image--his helplessness written all over.

    This is really beautiful. She looks like she's ready to collapse into him.

    Why is this 'mature content'?

    Do not look beyond that curtain--doctors tell you not to, and it is the truth.

    This could be a dad waiting for a c section- they made my husband wait outside when I was being prepared for emergency csection (after 38 hours of natural labor that stopped progressing normally). He was ushered into the operating room a moment before our son was pulled out of the incision. ...The nurse said they did it that way as a policy after having one too many expectant fathers pass out at the sight of the incision on a pregnant belly, so close to baby. They said there had been times when the fathers ended up with more stitches than mom...(though theirs were in a more comfortable location...)

    I remember watching my husband's face with our boy. He had never seen a vaginal birth. All three of his kids were c section. He was so loving and encouraging and never left my side.

    The pressure he's applying to her hips, like he would do anything to help her. Warms my heart.

    There's nothing... to partly exposed breast, no vagina, no newborn baby, or anything else this post is marking as so called "matrue content"! Everyone is fully clothed! How the hell is the decision for something to be "mature content" made??? I wouldn't mark anything I saw so far as "mature content"... this is life and not something that has to be hidden

    I remember my husband being very calm and he let me know he was monitoring the contractions on the screen and said the one coming up wasn’t as bad. He intentionally lied. It worked. It was very painful but It helped me stay sane. I looked in his eyes and saw trust and I cling to that. My daughter is a healthy and beautiful seventeen year old and I’d do it all over again!

    She is clearly listening to music. It helps the body relax.

    The toilet was my best friend when I was in labor....I remember crying when they told me that I had to get back into the bed to get checked.

    Love that he's in a position to catch the baby as it's being born.
