A father-to-be fears he will be either annoyance or juice-fetcher and no more. He understands that he has some uses, but wonders if men aren't more annoyance than help. No, he's not in the least trying to weasel out.
Explain, please, how and why men are useful during delivery?
"This is especially for women who, er...non-traditional...not on their backs in stirrups with a pile of interventions," he adds. He's looking through pictures in a childbirth book ("The Birth Book," Sears & Sears) and now has it in his head that all the men shown propping up women in various labouring positions were just given a chore to do.
No, I haven't entirely made sense of this question myself.
He repeats: "Are they usually more of an annoyance than a help?"
