Book for dads?

Hi, all! I apologize in advance if this has already been covered, but I didn't see it in my search through the forums. My husband and I just finished reading Your Best Birth and thought it was amazing and very inspirational. Now he is interested in finding a book on natural childbirth that is geared more toward dads. He is totally on board with the idea of homebirthing and wants to do all the reading and research that he can, bless him! Does anyone know of any good natural childbirth books for dads?

Hi Amanda,
I would second the Birth Partner - and anything by Penny Simkin is good. Also, although not specifically for Dads, I would recommend anything by Ina May Gaskin - her books have birth stories in, and reading others stories can really help in showing how diverse birth is and what is normal. Also Sheila Kitzinger, again not specifically for Dads but good books anyway.
