💡 A quick note: despite the name, Beer + Bubs isn't about drinking beer.

It's about helping dads feel informed, supported, and prepared for birth and early parenthood in a relaxed environment where real conversations happen.

Many attendees choose a beer, while others opt for soft drinks, coffee, or other non-alcoholic options. Whatever's in your glass, you're welcome here.

Cheers to Fatherhood!

Apologies for being quiet, my family and I have been grieving the loss of our beautiful cat who was tragically taken from us too soon.

Beer + Bubs is childbirth education for dads, held at the pub.
This one-night session helps expectant dads feel more confident, prepared and useful when labour and birth begin. Most dads want to support their partner well, but many are not always sure what that role actually looks like when things get real.

Beer + Bubs keeps it practical, relaxed and easy to understand. No awkward classroom vibe. No medical lecture. Just honest, useful information about labour, birth, support, comfort measures and how to stay calm when your partner needs you most.

This session is great for first-time dads, dads who felt underprepared last time, or dads who have attended antenatal classes but still feel unsure about what they are meant to do in the birth room.

We cover:
🍻 What to say, and what not to say, during labour
🍻 How to stay calm and focused
🍻 Practical ways to support your partner through contractions
🍻 Comfort measures that can help during labour
🍻 How to understand birth choices and pain relief options
🍻 How to communicate with midwives and medical staff
🍻 How to advocate for your partner without taking over.

Your host, Lexi Kemp, is a birth doula, mum of two, and a passionate advocate for the role dads and partners can play during birth. Lexi brings practical knowledge, warmth and lived experience, including her own experience of having a hands-on, active birth partner.

Beer + Bubs has been recommended by childbirth educators, midwives and obstetricians across Australia for more than 20 years.

Bookings are essential.
📍 Venue: Northlakes Tavern, 17–33 Pacific Highway, Charmhaven NSW 2263

A one-night session at the pub where expectant dads learn how to support their partners through the birth of their baby.

21/05/2026

Coming to the Central Coast, Beer + Bubs is a one night session where expecting dads can connect with each other and learn how to support their partner during labour and birth. Nothing awkward, just real conversations.
Unlike traditional antenatal classes, Beer + Bubs takes place at the pub, creating a familiar and informal environment where men can ask questions, have a laugh and learn alongside other dad to be.
Beer + Bubs is not about replacing hospital antenatal classes or partner-based education. It is about adding a dad-focused space where men can better understand their role, prepare for birth, and build confidence before their baby arrives.
Stay tuned for dates to be announced.

Dads are not extras in the birth room.

The World Health Organization recommends that women have a companion of choice during labour and birth, because trusted emotional,
psychological and practical support can improve both the birth experience and health outcomes.

For many dads, the challenge is not that they do not care. It is that they have not always been shown what their role can look like.
Being prepared helps dads stay calm, offer practical support, ask helpful questions, and be present when it matters most.

Most couples don’t realize they’re unprepared for birth until they’re already in labor.

And at that point, it’s too late to slow down and Google what’s happening.

Birth isn’t just about showing up to the hospital.
It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body, knowing your options in real time, and having a plan that still works when things don’t go as expected.

I see it all the time, women who thought they were prepared because they watched a few videos or read a few articles, but when contractions start, everything changes.

That’s why childbirth education matters.

Not fear-based information.
Not outdated “just do what you’re told” teaching.

But real, practical, evidence-based preparation that helps you feel calm, confident, and involved in your care.

In this class, we cover things like:
• what labor actually looks like (not just what movies show)
• how to work with contractions instead of fighting them
• when to go to the hospital (and when not to)
• pain management options—natural and medical
• how to advocate for yourself without conflict
• what your partner can actually do to help
• postpartum basics most people never mention

Because birth is not meant to feel like something happening to you.
It’s something you deserve to understand and actively participate in.

✨ Next class: May 29th in Pineville
✨ Only 2 spots left

If you’re expecting and want to feel more prepared, confident, and supported heading into birth, message me to claim a spot or ask questions.

At Call the Doula, we teach birth education that replaces fear with understanding, and confusion with confidence.

It appears an "Anti Doula Activist" has found my page. I cant imagine getting so worked up over women having informed consent and support during the most vulnerable moment of their lives.

Update ! Anna blocked me when I pointed her to the two separate phrases. Predator (the context i used) vs Sexual Predator.
I never called her a sexual predator or a ra**st but somehow her mind took it that way!

Mummas ! Your bodily autonomy will and always come first.
