Fatherhood Starts Before the Baby

Think childbirth is something you just “show up” for as a dad? Think again.In this episode, we’re talking straight to fathers—first-timers and seasoned vets—about what really happens during childbirth and why your role matters more than you were ever told. From knowing when labor is actually happening, to advocating in the hospital, to understanding how your presence can literally change the experience—we break it all down in real, everyday language.This isn’t medical advice. It’s lived experience, hard lessons, and the stuff no one explains until you’re already in the room.Send us your questions and/or topic suggestions here Like, share, follow and rate the podcast!Read the weekly BLOG: https://noirpoised.wixsite.com/noirpoisedpodcastYoutube: @noirpoisedpodcastInstagram: @noirpoisedpodcastTwitter: @noirpoised*This podcast is for conversation and reflection only.
