In this week's episode, I am chatting with Rob Geraghty who candidly shares his experiences of being a birth partner, and becoming a father of 3 children.
So often the focus in maternity care is around supporting the women during pregnancy and birth, so it is easy to forget the partner and ask how they are doing.
Rob admits that he didn't always find it easy in the beginning, and was happier when he was able to get back to more of a work-life balance. He points out that not all dads will enjoy being around babies and small children all of the time, and that it is important to try to carve out some time to do things that they enjoy.
Rob certainly opened my eyes to the way that some dads may feel, and I am grateful to other men like Scott Mair who runs Paternal Mental Health Support @p_m_h_support offering dads a platform to ensure that they are well supported as they navigate fatherhood.
