Decisions come at you from all angles as soon as you decide to have a kid!! The boys are back with their views and opinions on the decisions that you make leading up to birth, private vs public, doula, midwives and much more! We want everyone to make their own patchwork quilt! What to expect in this ep: 

Tigs shares some of the decisions that they made during the birth of his oldest compared to his youngest and how each experience was different, and why they changed from public to private.

Moogy unpacks his experience with a doula and how important this was to Jas and him and why removing major stress form his life before becoming a dad was important.

Phat recognises how much of a privilege he has with the options and the choice around public vs private and some of the important discussions that occurred between him and Amber before the birth of Hari!
