View submission: Yes, Dads Can Struggle With Postpartum Depression—Here’s Why
I'm in construction and we have a really good safety culture. I haven't seen these stats in a format that I can share, but the stats I've seen internally regarding men having major accidents were really eye opening. A very high percentage of people that have life changing accidents on site, fall asleep at the wheel driving to or from work, and so forth have a new born at home. I'm not talking twice or three times as likely, but likes hundreds of times more likely.

I believe it. I was working as an electrician when mine were babies. My son was colicky, and there were a few days where I was up literally all night with him - got him to sleep just in time to get dressed for work. I turned off the wrong breaker on one of those days. Ended up taking 600V from from hand to the other, straight across my heart. That should have killed me, and I don't know why it didn't.
