Supporting Mom Through Pregnancy, Delivery, and Postpartum: Tips for Dads
Traditionally, maternal healthcare has primarily focused on the mother and baby, but research increasingly emphasizes the vital role fathers play throughout this process. Research shows that fathers can provide significant emotional support and care for moms during these early developmental stages.
