Mother Birth

006. How to Be a Better Birth Partner w/Eugene Matullo

Listen Later

Buckle in, dear friends, for a conversation about how to be a better birth partner with my partner, husband, best friend, and co-parent, Eugene Matullo. 

What's a birth partner? Essentially, it is whomever is accompanying the mother or birthing person during her labor or birth. Eugene speaks candidly about his role in the labor and birth process as a husband, partner, lover; and also about what it means to consciously show up as a partner throughout the perinatal period.

We really dig into it ALL in this conversation. You'll learn:

  • What it means to really be there for your partner during birth
  • How the birth partner can prepare for birth practically, emotionally, and spiritually
  • Eugene's experience from one labor to another
  • What surprised him as the birth partner
  • The challenges of labor and birth as witnessed from the partner's point of view
  • A little about our birth choices and preferences for both of our babies
  • What Eugene really wants you to know about pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period


    • You'll hopefully giggle and cry with us as we take you on a beautiful journey that discusses this very important role during the portal that is birth. We also swear during this episode on occasion so listen away from sensitive ears.
