If you find yourself preparing for birth without a partner, know that it doesn’t mean you have to feel unsupported or alone. There are many ways to create a sense of strength, care, and connection throughout this journey, regardless of who is or isn't physically present.

Becoming a dad is like being handed the biggest promotion of your life with zero training, endless overtime, and the cutest boss you’ll ever meet. One moment you’re soaking up newborn snuggles, and the next you’re googling how to swaddle without losing your mind. It’s completely normal to feel stretched thin as you try to support your partner, bond with your newborn, and still take care of yourself.
