How Can Dad Support Mum During Pregnancy & Labour?

When I fell pregnant with my daughter, my husband was overjoyed. Any pregnancy is a scary time for any parent whether its your first or third baby. One of my husband’s concerns was the fear of not knowing how to support me during my pregnancy and labour.

We had both heard many horrible birth stories of couples who shouted and screamed at each other during birth. I had listened to stories about how dad's were ‘useless during birth’ and how they didn’t know how to support mum.

Myself and rick didn’t want this for our first baby, we wanted our baby to enter the world surrounded by love, no tension between us and for the birth to be relaxed.

I was recommended Hypnobirthing through a colleague and so I began to do my research and discovered the Wise Hippo course.

The Wise Hippo course although covers a whole birthing programme looked to be the answer. One section teaches all about dad’s and how they can support mum through pregnancy and birth. This was just what we were looking for, the course looked amazing and so we booked on and I haven’t looked back since.

Rick was amazing during our first birth and I know during our second birth will be just as amazing. He even offered to do me a video aimed at dad’s all about Hypnobirthing.

This is a first for Rick to offer, as he hates being filmed, you can check out his video here.

We are so excited to be on our Hypnobirthing journey again; the Wise Hippo course has completely changed our lives.

You can find more information about the Wise Hippo Course on my website and about my upcoming courses.

I do much more than just Hypnobirthing, have a browse and see if I can help you.
