About this listen
After weeks of careful planning, Matthew's baby arrived in the middle of the night—at a completely different hospital than expected.
In this episode, Matthew shares their unfiltered birth story: the telltale signs Mary initially dismissed, the frantic drive across town, and their first days as a brand-new parent navigating meconium diapers and jaundice.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How do you know when labor is actually starting vs. false alarms?
- What happens when the hospital you planned for is full and you get diverted?
- Why did we choose to find out the baby's sex beforehand?
- What's it really like doing your first diaper changes on a newborn?
- How do you handle the unexpected physical realities of newborn care (meconium, jaundice, temperature regulation)?
- What does it feel like to transition from "future parent" to "current parent"?
