They learn a series of exercises that help condition her body so that the muscles used during labor will be strong. They also learn a series of breathing techniques to help the mother through the labor process with a minimum of discomfort. Dr.. Robert Hawk, local obstetrician who invited Mrs. Codington to speak, likes the family participation in the birth of the baby. “It’s the most beautiful way to have a baby,” he said. “I strongly approve of men in the delivery room.” Go.” Entries in the horticultural division are open to Council members and amateur gar deners.
