Usually, pregnancy is all about the mother-to-be but thankfully times are changing. We are beginning to realize that pregnancy and birth is all about both parents. There are more fathers staying home and caring for children. And definitely fathers are expected to be at the birth and be a support person for his birthing partner.
During pregnancy, a man is in a state of ‘becoming’ a father just as a woman is in a state of ‘becoming’ a mother. The expectant father gift you give can go beyond a lovely trinket and really help that man you love to make the transition to ‘being’ a father as a skilled man, partner, and dad.
What’s a great becoming dad gift idea?

Because a gift for any father-to-be is happening during this precious ‘becoming’ period, it’s an ideal time for men to grow their skills and competency.

We’re asking you to think outside the box. Birthing Better Childbirth Preparation skills were developed by hundreds of fathers and mothers in the early 1970s. These families wanted to move from ‘becoming’ to ‘being’ feeling skilled and able to work together through this powerful life phase … pregnancy and the birth of their baby. Birthing Better fathers were absolutely motivated to become an effective birth-coach. They were motivated because their pregnant partner wanted them to be at the birth of their baby and know how to help and participate.

The Birthing Better skills are based on our shared human body so this ‘becoming’ a dad can share skills that are familiar to both women and men. No longer are men from Mars and women from Venus. Now we are human beings learning skills that create space, openness, softness, and mobility in the birthing body.
