I was scanning through the news tonight when I came upon a neat class idea for expectant dads called Beer and Bubs. It is a one night class held at a local bar and teaches expectant dads how to fufill the role of support person during childbirth. It is focused, short, and completely geared towards fathers. I love it! Unfortunately this class isn't in our city. However, there are some great resources for expectant and new dads right here in Calgary. Here is a taste of these resources:
1. 24 hour cribside assistance. Website that reads like a car's owners manual! http://www.newdadmanual.ca/
2. Birth and Babies, childbirth and prenatal education from Alberta Health Services, offers a dads-only class for childbirth preparation and a dad and baby class to attend once baby is here. http://birthandbabies.com/
3. Calgary Dads is a resource for dads around the city. http://www.calgarydads.com/
Undoubtedly, there is room for the development of more resources. Please share any that you have found in your travels, and be on the lookout for new exciting programs just for Dads!
