Description
Fatherhood, for many, might seem like it begins in the waiting room, when he’s pacing up and down, waiting for the doctor to come out of the delivery room, and give him the good news. Sadly, what many don’t realize, is fatherhood, for many men, is also a journey through pregnancy, to delivery, and thereafter. Often, society fails to notice that a man expecting a child, goes through motions that also affect his mental wellbeing. Fathers to be lack safe spaces that can allow them to express and address their anxiety of becoming a father, their emotional turmoil and fears-leaving some to resent the entire process of childbearing, especially for first time fathers. Hafiz Juma and Abu Msuya join Michael and Nadia on this specific episode and together they discuss the trial and tribulations of being a father for the first time. For all the joy that comes with getting your first child, for most fathers this signals the beginning of a never ending journey that will humble you and make you question what the future will look like.
