**Trigger Warning** The second half of this episode contains some heavy topics. Please read these show notes to get more information. Dads, sometimes pregnancies can run into overtime. Tune into this episode to get some tips on overtime pregnancy. For the second half of this episode we discuss some of the things that can go wrong during pregnancy and delivery. Sometimes mom or baby needs extra surgery. Sometimes someone could die through this process. Other times there is something wrong, such as a birth defect, that cannot be addressed through surgery.  We discuss how to handle and process all of these emotions and situations. While we are able to give some tips on how to navigate these things, there is never an easy solution to some of these things.  If you are going through these things right now, reach out. You are not alone.  Check out our transcript for every episode: https://linktr.ee/TwoBlueLines Always remember, you can look us up at Fatherhood.Academy and at YouMedical.org!
