Abstract

Whilst the overwhelming weight of data on caesarean section (CS) concerns maternal experiences, expectant fathers have historically been underrepresented. A literature search revealed only two relevant studies conducted in the past two decades; Chan demonstrated greater paternal anxiety at CS than normal vaginal delivery [1] and Capogna showed that epidural analgesia for the partner reduces paternal stress and enhances involvement in the experience of childbirth [2]. We undertook a survey of the partners of women undergoing CS under spinal anaesthesia to assess paternal preparedness and satisfaction with the process
