#92: Homebirth & Postpartum For Partners with Wes MacDermott

We are excited to welcome Dr. Morgan's husband Wes back to the podcast to continue their conversations on his perspective on all things fatherhood - this time specifically discussing home birth, his role during the birth itself, and his role postpartum. He talks about the stats and research that helped him feel comfortable with home birth as a first-time dad with his son, and what he thought of the experience as it took place - as well as tips for birth partners in general. He gives us his philosophy on managing the postpartum workload with pride as a partner - happy to provide in this way while the baby and mom rest and recover. At the end, we had a few random rapid-fire questions from listeners about taking care of himself amongst it all, being tired, adding more siblings, and more. Let's go!
