The experience of pregnancy and birth largely focuses on the Mom, but Dad is part of the process as well. Join an experienced father of two to learn about the Dad's role in the process, how to best support Mom through her birth and postpartum, and to get your questions answered in guy terms without the ladies in the room.

Class is tailored to the needs of the students. Typically, two hours are spent on labor and birth and one on postpartum issues with possible topics including:

  • What is it really going to be like to see your partner in the throes of labor?
  • How to stay grounded and keep any anxiety from reflecting onto her
  • Helping to relieve her pain
  • Helping to keep the labor progressing
  • “Guarding the space” so she can feel relaxed and safe and why that is so important
  • Supporting her wishes regarding pain medication if they differ from yours
  • How to be her advocate in communicating with the nurse, midwife, or doctor
  • How to share the care of your newborn
  • Bonding with your baby
  • Getting sleep and helping mom get sleep
  • What to expect when you return home from work
...And any other topic that may be of importance to you. We expect and welcome your questions!
