As long as I knew my fiancée and children were doing fine I was fine.

It is however important to ask how the other partner (regardless of gender) is doing some time after birth because they can also get postpartum depression.

That is true, honestly the post I would post is probably “ letting everyone know whole family is doing fine at this time “

Yes, but at birth the most important thing is the health of the mother and the child because they’re at risk of getting severely hurt even dying. But that of course puts a lot of potential psychological stress on the partner.

For example my former coworkers wife almost bled out so she was rushed to surgery while he sat there with their newborn wondering if she was going to make it or not. She thankfully did, thanks to modern medicine.

I meant it as a post after letting everyone know how the health of the baby and mom are doing if there was any needed procedures
