June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and we wanted to bring to light the importance of dad’s mental health throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. We know it can be an extremely overwhelming, stressful and lonely time for expecting dads and new fathers.
We went off on a few tangents but we trust the right people will hear it;)
Today we discuss:
Dad’s role in pregnancy, ways to support in each trimester
Important tangents about what’s going on hormonally and at a brain chemistry level during pregnancy- understanding her behavior
Dad’s role as protector of the space in birth
Dad’s role in postpartum and signs of postpartum psychosis (IMPORTANT!)
Ways to support your own mental health as an expecting or new dad
How cycle syncing improves the pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience (tangent for female listeners lol)
