What Nobody Told Us About C-SECTIONS (Ft. Jane Chuck, Melissa Campbell & Dr Alvin)

This week on How You Do Dad, we’re talking about something our dads know absolutely nothing about: C-sections. What actually happens for a C-section mom? And how do you support both mom and child after?We’re joined by Melissa Campbell, Jane Chuck, and Dr. Alvin as we finally ask all the questions dads are usually too scared (or clueless) to bring up. From plans that go smoothly to moments where nothing goes to plan — it’s an honest, eye-opening chat about what really happens when things take a different route.Join us as we learn from mistakes and figure out this thing called daddyhood.______Follow Jane Chuck!https://www.instagram.com/janechuck/Follow Melissa Campbell!https://www.instagram.com/themelissacampbell/Follow Dr Alvin!https://www.instagram.com/dr.alvinpung/Follow Minghan!https://www.instagram.com/dmingthing/Follow Dennis!https://www.instagram.com/dennisyin/Join Our Telegram Community!https://t.me/hyddannouncements____Welcome to How You Do Dad, a podcast hosted by Minghan, Dennis and Jon as they take on the wild journey of being the asian dad in this new era.____Redeem here for FREE Aptamil KID C-SynB 120g sample to try!https://tinyurl.com/yc5cy94vGet 50% OFF on Aptamil KID C-SynB 600g pack for first time users at Aptamil KID Shopee Official Store — claim promo code on Aptamil KID Mini Program here!https://tinyurl.com/636yszwdFollow Aptamil KID on Instagram / Facebook!https://www.instagram.com/aptamilkid/https://www.facebook.com/AptamilKID____CHAPTERS00:50 - Meet our guests!02:50 - Learning about C-Sections04:00 - Planning a C-Section05:50 - When the baby doesn’t turn09:30 - She couldn’t feel contractions???13:00 - Surprise, the baby’s out!14:00 - What’s a C-Section?18:42 - Our variety of births19:37 - Planning for a Taurus 22:40 - “I’m gonna do Kung Fu”24:00 - WHERE’S MY HUSBAND?!?!27:00 - The Husband Blackout Document 28:10 - Realising “I’m a Dad”31:12 - Recovering from surgery 33:35 - Recovery duration 34:00 - Oh, this is ROUGH. 38:00 - The first pee. 39:50 - Are more moms planning C-Sections?41:20 - The pregnancy nesting hustle42:00 - Planning a Taurus birthday 45:30 - Differences in c-sec kids vs. non49:50 - What’s Pre/Probiotics? 52:50 - The ‘Golden Window’ for Gut Health58:00 - Nutrition for C-Section Kids 01:01:40 - What should dads do better?01:03:10 - Things that made things easier01:06:25 - Share the decision making 01:07:40 - Facing poor absorption 01:11:00 - For potential c-sect moms…01:13:20 - Fighting for your village 01:15:30 - The most important foundation 01:16:10 - Ignore what I said back then…______NEW PODCAST EPISODES BIWEEKLY ON MONDAYS AT 11AM!
