Road Map

• As an expected father…• Moment of Conception• Men as observers to pregnancy?• Framework for your growth into Fatherhood• Qualities during these phases




As an expectant father…

• You need to use your pregnancy as a time to grow from being a ‘man’ to being a ‘father’

• Pregnancy = transition time frame and ‘the birth’ is the gateway for which both of you must pass in order to ‘parent’




Moment of Conception• Life has changed from the

moment of conception• Woman and baby are now

growing because conception has occurred• Growth of your baby

doesn’t take a break – not for one moment. Woman’s growth therefore doesn’t stop either – not for one moment… What about you?




Men as observers to pregnancy?• Now is not the time to watch• Choose to grow at the same time




Framework for your growth into fatherhood • Conception to 12 weeks• 12-24 weeks• 24-32 weeks• 32 weeks to the birth• The birth




Qualities during these phases

• Kindness• Patience• Awareness• Attention to detail• Being able to see what needs to be done and doing it• Growing a second set of arms• Growing two more sets of eyes• Humour• Delight• Clarity




• Don’t wait until your newborn is in your arms to try to figure out how to father




• Your skills can be learned while your baby is growing inside the mother and while the woman is growing her mothering skills




• By growing your fathering skills while pregnant and using birth/coaching skills during birth then you can ‘be’ a confident father once your baby is born
