Theresa Halvorsen

Brad Halvorsen

A basic guide for the man who wants to help his partner in labor but who doesn't want to study obstetrics or question a doctor's advice.

You need a game plan, Dad!

You're going to be a father, and you're nervous about the birth. You know what your partner is supposed to do, but how can you, the rookie coach, really shine? Are you afraid you'll fumble—forget the breathing patterns, fall asleep, maybe even faint when the baby crowns?

Quit worrying! Just get into the huddle with Theresa and Brad Halvorsen, a couple of pros who will clear your head of the blur of information from the birthing class and tell you what you really need to know to perform at your best. From The Dad's Playbook to Labor and Birth, you'll learn how to:

- Anticipate your partner's needs (does she really want eight people in the birthing room!)
- Know when she's going into labor
- Pack your own hospital bag (don't forget the snacks)
- Develop your own set of tricks to ease labor
- Write up a cheat sheet to ensure that you don't forget anything
- Make full use of the hospital's staff, equipment, and services
- Take care of your team in the days after birth

Theresa and Brad offer plenty of laughs along with the strategic advice and the slap on the back you need to run with the ball when the Big Day comes. With the help of The Dad's Playbook to Labor and Birth, you can bet that at the end of the day, you, your partner, and the new little rookie will be dancing in the end zone!
