Women and babies are the stars of childbirth, but dads play important roles too.

From massaging an exhausted mother-to-be’s back, to reminding her of her strength when she is at her most vulnerable, a supportive partner can make an enormous difference in labor and delivery.

So in honor of Father’s Day, we share powerful photos that capture the important, emotional and physical support dads-to-be provide their partners, as well as the utter magic of fathers meeting their babies for the first time.

Daddy welcomed the second baby.

nice.

“This mother was determined to have an unmedicated birth in the hospital.

When I asked her if she was hiring a doula she said, ‘I don’t need one, my husband is my labor coach.’

With every contraction, he would remind her to relax and help her slow her breathing.

It was so moving to watch the two of them working together.”

Working together.

Oga wey nigerian own?

After 20hrs of labor, this dad is getting set for the wife's C-section.

I love this. I just can't wait.

This dad wasn’t positive he wanted to help ‘catch’ the baby and was rather nervous about the entire process.

But after speaking with the nurse and doctor he was reassured he was going to do great and he did!

He actually pulled his son up and onto mom’s chest.”

Thanks baby.

Nice.
Any guru-guru seller here? :-D

I would have been getting father's day text today if only i stopped using

What of ipob juice fathers oya come on let's see how u give birth to intelligent humans,

This dad had been emotional from the moment the midwife told his partner it was time to push.

He supported her through every second of her painful labor.

Cool.

“As the pushing phase progressed, this first-time dad grew more and more excited to meet his daughter.

As her head started to emerge, he repeatedly covered his face in wonderment and awe.

Her first breath certainly tookhisbreath away!”

This mother had been laboring for about 12 hours at this point and was absolutely exhausted.

She was entering into transition, so each contraction was getting even more intense.

Mic, the father, leaned in to pull her in close as she came down from the last contraction, wiping her tears from her cheeks.

It was truly one of the sweetest moments I’ve ever captured between a mom and dad.”

Chai I kant wait

Wow... Gonna cherish my man more for this, we will share the same pain together.. Happy fathers day to all loving and caring dad out there... Especially my daddy

Regretted why u couldn't be a father?

Instead of C-section, u turned it to D&C
Instead of pregnancy, u turned it to postinor
instead of "blooded after birth", it "blood after abortion
Instead of money for antenatal, it money for abortion

It's well..... happy father's day

Nasty!
Lalasticlala!

wish our President speedy recovery/ restoration.

My experience in the labour room taught me so much lesson about life.

Intending dad, request for permission to stay with ur wife through labour and child birth. You wont regret it.


For the wife beaters, if u see what she goes through to give u those beautiful kids, you will stop molesting her.


Thumbs up to mothers.

Its all about the women we still take over father's day.
