This is a point that I think husbands need to help understand is in the heat of the moment like that, it's really important not to let the emotions escalate.

It would have been so easy for everybody to throw their hands up and for everything to have gone awry.

But we purposefully calmed down, talked in a low voice about the ins and the outs,

and then ask what are the fears, what are the concerns, and get into it without escalating.

And at the end of it, Krista finally said, I don't want to do this, but with the support of everybody else, we can.

I see that there's, there's, you know, good possibilities here.

Getting pregnant and giving birth are two of the most exciting things you can ever hope to experience in this life.

The moment you think you could be pregnant, you're frantically searching for all the best information, which is why you're here today.

I'm Stephanie King and with my many years of experience as a professional childbirth educator, doula, and lover of all things, pregnancy birth and postpartum.

I'm here to make preparing for your birth enjoyable, empowering, and totally easy.

Each week, I'll cover different topics, interview professionals, and get into the nitty-gritty

birth stories from mamas just like you. And when you're ready for more, you can join me in the MyEessential

birth course at MyEcentialbirth.com, where I take you step by step through exactly how to

prepare your mind, body, spirit, and partner for a birth you love. So let's get started.

Welcome back to the podcast. This week is another incredible birth story for you guys from some my essential birth parents. I have with me today, both Krista and Morgan. So I love when we have the dads on.

Thank you, Morgan, for being here. It gives us an opportunity to be able to hear the other side of things, kind of what's going on in dad's mind. And I think these are the best episodes to

have you guys have your dads, these birth partners, listen to. So with that, Krista and Morgan,

will you say hello to everybody, kind of introduce yourselves in your family, and then let's get

started. Hello, I'm Morgan. This is my lovely wife, Krista. Hi, I'm Krista.

Wonderful. And this is my husband and he's been wonderful and supportive this whole time.

Wonderful. Okay. And where are you guys from and how old is your baby or how many children do you have?

We live in Logan, Utah,
