What to Expect
From Him
Dear Dads-to-be,
At the time of conception you are in the starring role, but by the time your partner sees those little blue lines on the pregnancy test you have been cast as a supporting actor. Your job essentially for the next 9 months and on is to be support for your partner and baby. Through the pregnancy and delivery it is crucial for your partner to know she can count on you for whatever she needs. You will come to find out that what she needs may be outrageous, and at times impossible but these are the joys of pregnancy.
Do your best to enjoy every moment and all that comes with it. Pregnancy is not always joyous, but keep every minute as a blessing. Remember to be sensitive to each other. You are both entering into the unknown and must work together to help each other get through it. Cherish the good times and embrace the difficult ones; use it to strengthen your relationship. Remember, it goes fast, enjoy each day together, even when you are ready to strangle each other.
GOOD LUCK!
Women have normal fears and anxiety that come with being pregnant and delivering a baby. We forget that it is equally as terrifying for daddies.
