“…These questions were, ''Pregnancy can feel like being in captivity waiting for torture'' (Eriksson et al, 2005, p. 65); ''I did not want to worry my partner so I said nothing about the fear I felt'' (p. 66); ''Fear related to childbirth is never spoken about'' (p. 66); and ''Childbirth is a risky situation' ' (p. 66).

Although fathers may feel fearful during pregnancy and labor, they hide their fears from their partner, and the focus of their fears moves from their partner to their baby after the birth of the child (Chandler & Field, 1997;Lavender, 1997;May, 1994;O'Leary & Thorwick, 2006;Shapiro, 1987).…”
