Men, thou shalt be interested in learning about childbirth!
Men, while it’s true your wife is the one who actually births your child, that doesn’t mean you are just a spectator! As husbands we ought to educate ourselves on what to expect when it comes to pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. That way we can compassionately care for our wives through all of it. God calls us as husbands to care for our wives and this calling applies to pregnancy and childbirth as well! To best care for our wives we need to educate ourselves on what to expect and how to help out during pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and beyond. We need to be proactive in caring for our wives during this delicate and painful time.While educating ourselves is important, there are also other aspects that need to be unpacked as well for us Dads. We need to be sure to prepare for the journey with our wives, we need to stay emotionally connected and discuss our desires are fears, especially those regarding childbirth. We need to encourage and care for one another as we are commanded in scripture.
I will dig into many aspects of what this looks like and how we are called to best care for our wives during pregnancy and childbirth. Expect to see one post a month aimed towards husbands and fathers.
