Dr. Divina Lopez decided to put together a weekly podcast designed to answer the most frequently asked questions that new parents have. She created this podcast to provide guidance for parents, so that they would feel empowered on their parenthood journey.
Many new parents are focused on the baby and forget to prioritize their own self -care. Did you know that neglecting your own care can have significant impacts on your health, mental health—and even the well-being of your baby? This is why counselor Vanessa De Jesus Guzman and I decided that this podcast was a must to produce for you! We'll give you the tips to taking care of yourself in this new parenthood season!
Every parent wants to know what exactly happens to their baby in the nursery. In this episode of the podcast, I reveal exactly what goes on behind the scenes in the nursery. Delivery day is a day full of excitement and between labor and delivery so much goes on in the minutes' right after birth. You'll learn what a baby experiences in the nursery after delivering at a hospital.
In this episode we're discussing the 5 most frequently asked questions that I get from expecting dads about pregnancy and about moms. As a matter of fact, some of them are pretty provocative! So, stay tuned because this is a pretty interesting episode, lol. If you are a dad and have questions submit them directly on my website: https://drdivinalopez.com/. I love hearing from you, and I am always at your service!
You can still be a team player when it comes to pregnancy, mama does not want to do this alone. Nothing makes a new mom happier than witnessing how excited her partner is for this new adventure. Your role is to provide support and be her cheerleader, and yes you got this! Stick to the 15 ways partners can support a pregnant mama, and she will be forever grateful to have such a great partnership with you! Remember that she is looking for validation and love from you. Her body is changing almost daily, and she no longer feels like herself, so make her transition to mamahood as seamless as possible. To get ready for the delivery and birth of your baby I highly recommend you read The Ultimate Dad's Guide to the Delivery Room in The Dancing Into Parenthood Program. This will be your best tool to prepare you for the wild ride of Delivery Day! Register today: https://drdivinalopez.com/digital-program/

We all want our babies to have healthy relationships in their lives, but we must understand our responsibility in this milestone.

In this episode of Dancing Into Parenthood we are going to dive in a little deeper to help you understand why I consider this such important work for me to do. Everything starts with the family, doesn't it? If you think about your own life, think about your past, everything that had a big impact on you most likely came from your family. That's regardless of whether you were brought up with your biological parents or not. So many adult wounds and traumas that we talk about often come from childhood. This is called the parent wound. When we become parents ourselves, we don't want to inflict those same parent wounds onto our own children. When you know better it's time to do better.
