I would say definitely not, but that probably doesn't surprise you :)
Also, I hated in entirety the two commercial magazines on pregnancy and birth which I made the mistake of buying - full of adverts for things I didn't want, and nothing at all outside the hospital+pain relief birthplan considered. Barely anything on breastfeeding, and formula adverts galore.
The free magazine from the National Childbirth Trust was far better, and definitely aimed at parents, not just mothers. The NCT is of course the organisation that first campaigned for fathers to be included at the birth if they so wished, rather than dispatched to the hospital corridors.
