🩶 Birth Trauma Awareness Week
I have about 800 posts I could share for this, but today I want to keep it simple:
✨ How your partner shows up in your birth will affect the rest of your marriage.
Please don’t be scrolling your phone or sleeping when your wife needs you. (Yes, there are times when dad can rest while mom has support.) But the best way to support her is to become deeply educated on undisturbed physiological birth.
I’m not talking about taking an “evidence-based” hospital class that teaches fear and management.
I’m talking about preparing to birth in full autonomy together, as a team—so that whether you free birth, birth with a midwife, or birth in a hospital, you are aligned, grounded, and fear-free.
His fears should not influence your decisions.
His presence can ground you or unsettle you.
I’m beyond proud of my husband and our redemption home birth after our traumatic C-section with our first.
Yes, OUR—because men experience birth trauma too.
Then you have two traumatized, exhausted, overwhelmed humans trying to navigate parenthood together… and we wonder why divorce rates increase after children.
✨ Birth can strengthen or break a relationship.
✨ Get empowered.
✨ Educate yourselves.
✨ Do not rely on anyone to save you or your baby.
✨ Birth is where you meet yourself—and your partner can help you get there if he has no fear.
This is the work I do. This is what I help couples prepare for.
If you want to prepare for an empowered, redemptive birth, book a 1:1 with me or join an upcoming event. Let’s change the legacy for your family.
