Hi, congratulations. As rightly said in the first response, she need more attention, care and a proper diet. She need to be very careful in the initial stages. Ask your doctor to provide the dos' and don't note and read on the net for more information. Wishing you all the best.. and your wife, a happy pregnancy..

hi friend, your heartbeat will be more once you hold your baby for the first time! I'm a mother of 2 (now aged 14 & 10) and i remember well my husband's glowing face at the nursing home. Its good since you are with your mother in law, she can help your wife with all tips. Make sure she is not under stress during this time.

Noone knows exactly how to be a good father and there´s no book that serves for each and every father. Whatever you do, do it with all your love. and love your child as he/she is, not expecting for the child to "change". Noone really changes, but we all grow up. Our role as parents is to teach them with our example and love. It´s not an easy job and it´s frustrating many times. But we must go on, as it is a life long job.

Well, I'd like to say congratulations to you, wulania. However, I am single and have no experience on caring about baby. However, I believe that you will absolutely be a good father, and you'll know everything after he/she is born. Best wishes for you and your wife and your baby~

Congratulations. A pregnant woman need affection, love and appreciation. What you can do is to her give the support, help and understanding during those swing moods that she may experience. Take part in things like taking her to prenatal checkup, shopping for the baby and spending quality time with her. These are a few things that can make the woman feel loved and appreciated.

First, congratulations on you. Well, there are lots of things you can do to be a good father and husband:try to do more housework, especially those heavy ones. women just pregnant maybe nervous and feel uncomfortable, so you should try to comfort your wife and think on her side. of course, maybe because of some reaction, her temper maybe become a little bad, it requires you to be more considerate.
Being parents is not easy. To be a good father, you got lots of knowledge to learn. Well, you should start from now on. Actually, even how to take your baby in arms needs some knowledge. I have learned a lot from the experience from bringing up my son. You know, even a little mistake can lead to big problem in a baby. so you can't be more careful in taking care of baby. i remember clearly that my son got heat rash because we didn't put correct amount of clothes on him.
Last, wish you have a healthy baby!

This is very good for you to think about this issue. It shows that you are a considerate and responsible man. According to my experience, pregnant women sometimes will lose temper or make a fuss. At that time you shall be patient to it and try to make her happy. You have to understand that she will have a big change after she is pregnant. So you have to try to be nice to her. When you have time, go to have a walk with her everyday. It is not only good for the baby, but also her. A pregnant woman shall have a good mood.
I love China

Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy. You just need to love, and attention to your wife. When I was pregnant, I want to feel comfortable. So create a comfortable atmosphere for your wife. Caution is necessary, by pregnant women. You can certainly become good husband and good father.

Hi wulania,
My heartiest congratulations to you. Becoming a dad is one of the best things that can happen to a man. A newborn is a pure inspiration and there are no words in the dictionary to explain that magical feeling.
No worries. It's not as difficult as it sounds. It will come to you spontaneously. Guys are prepared for it. It's just that we don't realize it till the day we held our bundle of joy in our hands. Always assure your wife that you'll always be there for her in time of need. Make sure she eats healthy. Entertain her in whatever way you can. Avid long journeys in the first trimester. Good wishes to both of you.

Well congratulations daddy. Well as a women and a mom that has Bren pregnant the best advice is to do as she wants. When she wants you to go out and gr her something at 3am the go get it or you'll have to de with the mood swings. The father part it fall into places when the baby is born. I suggestion taking birthing class it help both of you. Part of bein a parent is not knowing what to do and learning on your own what does and doesn't work at all.
