With the pandemic, it's not possible for new dads to be in the delivery room. Hospitals won't allow it. Not only is this difficult for the mother, of course, but dads have it tough as well.

We talk about how new dads can cope with this from an Orthodox perspective and how you can support your wife and new child.
