In this episode, we're joined by Matty Scoccio from Brunswick (Melbourne) as he shares his personal experience of becoming a father. Matty reflects on his own childhood and the influence of his relationship with his father, revealing the values and lessons he hopes to pass down to his own children.
Matty discusses the uncertainty of parenthood and how a private obstetrician played a pivotal role in easing their fears. He reflects on the challenges of supporting his wife through Hyperemesis during both pregnancies and marvels at her strength during this time and throughout her 20-hour labor and an unexpected vaginal birth, initially anticipated to be a cesarean due to the baby's position. We chat about the importance of teamwork, communication, and partnership in parenthood. Matty shares how his bond with his sons gradually deepened especially during his period as a stay-at-home dad.
