Yet, when it comes to the big day, they are expected to know exactly how to support their partner through what can be the most physically challenging and emotionally charged event in their whole lives.

This how-to handbook also includes birth stories from men who've been there before and learned the hard way. And sometimes the funny way. Always the hands-on way.
