Some helpful tips on how dad can get through the stress of childbirth.

Giving birth is one of the most stressful — and joyous — moments in a couple’s life.

So to help your spouse help you, your baby, and himself through this life-changing experience, we’ve got some great tips that will make him the perfect birthing partner. He’ll be so prepared that he won’t even stress out about how to get that car seat fastened into the back of the car for baby’s first journey home!
