About

We all have our pregnancy and postpartum stories.For some of us like me this phase completely changed the way I look at life.It first revealed a side of me I thought did not exist and then all through the highs and lows, this journey has healed me from one extreme to another.I knew all through that my husband looked at it from a very different perspective.For him , it was more about trying to make sense and sometimes feel marvelled at beautiful undertones of pregnancy, while at other times , wonder what he could do to ease out the discomfort.Postpartum was tough for me and it was for him too.I sensed how helpless he felt, how alarmed he felt at seeing a new persona unfold in front of him.I was too broken to ask him about anything. I remember feeling guilty of the way I behaved and helpless at not helping myself and him too.It was stressful for him too.He could have had his story, his worries and they were all superimposed by my issues early postpartum. But I could sense how it disturbed both of us.And that's the reason 'Mommytrack Daddy Whispers' Podcast started with me but has always had daddy in it, we need to discuss perinatal health for fathers too, for the partners too, to be more inclusive.In this Episode we discuss, How fathers feel during Pregnancy?How can they reduce the stress during Pregnancy?Why is Perinatal health for fathers significant, what does Research say?Postpartum Support International is the organisation that provides emotional support to both mothers and fathers in the perinatal stage.
