"    Men have roles \u2014 at work, as a father, as a husband, as a friend \u2014 and those roles have rules. But then there&amp;#039;s the other stuff \u2014 when suddenly there are no rules and everything is out of control. The Oh Sh!t Guide to Being a Man &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Published in the June/July 2013 issue  STEP 1 Don&amp;#039;t panic.  Realize that this has happened in caves for thousands of years, and most of the time there aren&amp;#039;t a lot of complications. You can do this. (In the meantime, call 911 so the EMTs are en route.)  STEP 2 Undress the mother from the waist down and lay her on as many clean towels as you can find. (You can also try propping her up so that gravity can help. However she feels most comfortable.)  STEP 3 Since the birth is imminent  otherwise, you&amp;#039;d be on your way to the hospital, right?), you won&amp;#039;t have to worry too much about contractions and breathing and all that. She&amp;#039;ll tell you that she&amp;#039;ll have to push, so you&amp;#039;ll spread her legs apart and guide the baby&amp;#039;s head as it comes out.  STEP 4  Next come the shoulders. If Mom is pushing and nothing is happening, never pull the baby&amp;#039;s shoulders. Instead, gently try to position the shoulders so that the baby can glide out. Once the shoulders clear, the rest of the baby should slide out. Do not drop her. She will be slippery.   STEP 5  If the baby doesn&amp;#039;t come out  facedown (as she should), wait until she&amp;#039;s out of the mother to turn her facedown so the fluid can drain from the nose and mouth.   STEP 6   Dry the baby off and give her stimulation on her back to get her crying. Leave the cord for the EMTs. Put the baby on Mom and exhale.
