What's it really like to be a dad during a C-section? In this episode of The C-Section Experience, Jen and Bethany shine a light on the often-overlooked experiences of fathers and partners in the operating room and beyond.

Bethany shares her own family's story while walking through responses to ten candid questions answered by dads who've been through C-sections with their partners. From the emotional weight of watching surgery unfold, to advocating for their partner, to figuring out how to best help at home—this episode gives dads a voice and offers actionable tips for those preparing for the journey.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:
  • The emotional challenges dads face before, during, and after a C-section.

  • How dads can advocate for their partners in the hospital.

  • What to expect during recovery at home and how to play an active role in caregiving.

  • Practical ways to manage visitors and discharge stress.

  • The importance of humor, connection, and teamwork in navigating early parenthood.

This episode reminds us that dads need support, too. By hearing directly from fathers who've walked this path, new and expecting dads will feel more prepared, less alone, and better equipped to show up for their partners and babies.
