Stefanie is a Holistic Preconception Coach & Birth Alchemist. She coaches women on holistic preconception, pregnancy & birth.

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)
