The Dads

“I wanted to hear directly from the dads about their experience with my Calmbirth classes. While we often hear from the mums, it’s not always clear what the dads are really thinking. So, I asked them, and here’s what they had to say.”

“Our birth did not go “according to plan” but Calmbirth gave me the tools and skills to make the right decisions for Febey when she was unable to have her own voice. I felt valued and empowered during the labour process and was glad Febey could be relaxed, knowing I had the knowledge behind my decisions. When our baby had to go straight to the NICU Ward for further checks and monitoring I also knew what both our baby and Febey needed as we were taught crucial information about post-birth procedures and how to care for our newborn.” Zac

“Calmbirth’s education and practical tools are invaluable. My confidence for my role in the birthing process has grown tenfold!” Josh

“I learnt A LOT, mostly because I came in knowing nothing! Cherie has a beautiful home and the food and coffee were great. “ Corey

“Calmbirth classes gave me a sense of peace and preparedness. It has provided some invaluable tools to support my partner through the birthing journey.” Paul

“Empowered, confident, and connected. After experiencing baby loss, Calmbirth gave me the tools to support my partner, prepare for birth, and embrace the journey ahead with hope and understanding.” James

“As a first time dad not knowing a thing about labour, this class was everything I needed to gain the confidence and knowledge on how I can best help my wife when the day comes. Cherie is an amazing teacher who has set up a beautiful, nurturing environment to learn in. I couldn’t recommend this calm birth class enough to all dads and parents.” Tom

“It’s a truly valuable course. It’s given me confidence & I now understand my role in a time where I can’t do more than support. Cherie explains everything in an easy to understand way that doesn’t bamboozle you with technical/medical jargon. Cherie is passionate and it shows through her level of care. I would highly recommend every parent do the Calmbirth class.” Matt

“The Calmbirth class was very useful in preparing me for the birth of our baby girl. It not only gave a thorough overview of the stages and progression of pregnancy and birth but also provided me with the tools and resources that I could use to support my wife through the birthing process.” Jeremy

“My experience at the Calm Birth classes exceeded my already high expectations. The environment was welcoming and friendly, there was excellent hospitality, but most importantly, the information was well presented and incredibly useful. Cherie does an excellent job at simplifying medical research and terminology so that everyone could understand clearly, without losing the important details. Myself and some of the other fathers present admitted that we came to Calm Birth without really understanding much about what goes into labour and birthing, but we all agreed at the end, that we felt equipped and most importantly, confident that we knew what we could do to be great support people for our partners.” Nathan (no image)
