Fatherhood: You don’t have to do it alone
Fatherhood can be a challenging and life-changing experience, and it’s important to know that you’re not alone in it. While there’s a lot of focus on motherhood, fatherhood can often be overlooked. At Het Geboorte-atelier we understand that dads also need support and space to express their feelings.
Your experiences and support
You don’t have to struggle with the challenges of fatherhood alone. It’s completely normal to find it tough or to worry about the birth and the period afterwards. Often, the focus is on the (expectant) mother and the baby, while your experiences and feelings might not always get noticed. This can make you feel alone with your worries and doubts.
Coaching
At Het Geboorte-atelier we offer coaching to support you in your journey to fatherhood. As an experienced midwife and coach, Clémence can help you explore your feelings, cope with the changes, and find balance in this important role. Get in touch with us for more information and see how we can support you during this phase of your life.

Fatherhood and feelings
You’re dreading the upcoming fatherhood.
You feel tension and anxiety when you think about becoming a dad soon.
You’re struggling with fatherhood
You don’t know if fatherhood suits you or you don’t want to be like your parents/father
Since you became a father, you’ve been feeling down and missing the fun.
Did you know that 5-10% of men can develop postpartum depression? You might be thinking, well, it’s not that serious to call it depression, but you’re also not exactly feeling great. It says a lot that you’re reading this because you notice that you can’t get through it on your own.
You’re not the dad you want to be.
That hurts. Childhood flies by and you just stand there and watch it.
You experienced the birth as intense.
You notice that every time you still see images of the birth in your mind and you’d rather not talk about it anymore.
Method of fatherhood coaching
In a coaching program, we look at the challenges you’re facing and what you think and feel about them. We’ll explore where these underlying feelings come from and, most importantly, how you can get back to yourself and find your strength, so you can be the dad to your child(ren) the way you want to be.
