Yeah

... because you were doing all those things, I think that what it, what it's really doing, whilst it's preparing your body, it's like, it's giving you that, that mindset of like, "I'm doing this for a purpose.

This is all positive." Um, and I think that was really helpful.

Um, and then I, I just wanted to add from, from my side, 'cause I don't think, um, dads or partners generally, um, often know what to do with themselves during labor, was a, was a thing I wanted to say.

And so in terms of preparing, I, I obviously just like any, any other first-time birth partner, wasn't really sure what I was going to do in there.

Um, but actually just through being quite present and involved with all of the, the content through YPJ, I felt like I had quite a good understanding of, of what might happen during labor, and it meant that I could do things like ask questions to the doctors and try to be supportive, count through your contractions, all these little things that I just wouldn't have known to do or, or that might have been helpful.

And, and in the end, you said that those were some of the, the most helpful things I could have done.
