Meyer Krah on the Birth That Changed Everything — and Why He Started Here 4 the Dads Podcast and Community

In this heart-opening episode of Healing After Birth, we sit down with Meyer Krah — Navy veteran, father of five, and host of Here 4 the Dads — to talk about the birth experience that changed his entire perspective on fatherhood, partnership, and marriage. Although he was already a father, it wasn’t until his fourth child was born that Meyer chose to witness the moment up close. What he saw in that delivery room shifted everything. From a deeper appreciation of his wife to a renewed sense of purpose, that experience became the catalyst for launching Here 4 the Dads — a platform dedicated to helping fathers show up more fully, intentionally, and informed during pregnancy, in the delivery roo, and after birth. Meyer opens up about: Why he didn’t attend the births of his first three children How culture and military life shaped (and limited) his early fatherhood experience The power of nesting parties over baby showers The unseen mental load carried by moms — and how dads can step up Why supporting fathers is essential to building stronger families Whether you’re a dad, a mom, or building your village from scratch, this conversation is a reminder that healing after birth isn’t just for mothers — it’s for families.
