No one really preps dads for this. Labour isn’t like the movies — it’s not all screaming and chaos. With the right mindset and environment, it can be one of the most powerful and beautiful experiences of your life - if you're prepared and ready (which this video is designed to help you do).
This Labour Survival Guide for Dads is your honest look at what really happens during childbirth – and how you can show up as the calm, steady support your partner needs. This isn’t about “saving the day” or stepping into the doctor’s role. It’s about being present, kind, and prepared – mentally and emotionally – so you can be her rock when it matters most.
What you’ll get in this video:
• How to prepare mentally and emotionally before labour begins
• What to realistically expect during early and active labour
• Practical ways to support her through the intensity of childbirth
• How to advocate for her when she’s too exhausted to speak
• How to stay calm, grounded, and useful – even when you feel helpless
• Why dropping the ego is the most important thing you can do
Birth is raw, unpredictable, and deeply emotional – but with the right mindset and preparation, you can make it a truly empowering and beautiful moment for you both.
