Ep81: A Father's Perspective on Pregnancy & Birth with Falcon Rankins

I talk a lot about the experience of the birthing person on this podcast, which often means that I don't talk as much about what it feels like to be the supporting partner. In that spirit, someone recently suggested that I share the perspective of dads on the podcast. So, in this special episode my husband Falcon is joining me to talk about his feelings and experiences during my pregnancies and births.  It was really interesting to hear what things felt like from Falcon's perspective. We mostly focused on my first pregnancy and birth, what it was like navigating the NICU, and why things can feel so much more stressful when you are a first-time parent. I even learned a couple things in this episode that I never knew, which just goes to show you how valuable having this conversation with your supporting partner can be.  Check out ncrcoaching.com/episode81 for complete show notes, and join my email list at ncrcoaching.com/email-signup/!
