EP 11 | What Every Father Should Know About Home Birth: A Father’s Perspective on Supporting Home Birth, Questioning the System, and Trusting the Birth Process.

We’re bringing a dad’s voice into the birth conversation. We had Jacob Dubois, husband, father, home birth advocate, and author of “Why Home Birth” to talk about how dads can move from fear and skepticism into understanding the process of birth and ultimately trusting in their wife’s INTUITION and her ability to birth. We talk about his wife’s two births, trusting the mom’s intuition, the cascade of interventions, birth education, and bringing dads into the birth space. Because when a dad is educated in physiological birth, grounded, and believes in HER ability to birth… it can make a GENERATIONAL impact!Connect with Jacob: Buy his book : Why Homebirth Jacob Dubois is a Christian, a devoted husband to wife Madison, and a proud father to two young sons (ages 2 and 5 months).
