What is my role in the pregnancy?

You are a very important person!

During pregnancy the mother of your baby is likely to be more tired, uncomfortable and emotional than usual. She will not only experience changes in her shape but also in her skin and hair and may feel less attractive.

You can give her the support, attention, understanding and love that she needs. You can make her feel beautiful and special. Give her lots of attention, encouragement and offer to help around the house. Flowers are a good idea!

It is a good idea if you can attend the antenatal classes so you can support your wife / partner in the classes and can learn how to support her in childbirth.Also no matter how busy you are at work it would be good if you could attend at least one antenatal visit with your wife partner. This is so you can get to know me, and I you. Also you can ask any questions you have and discuss any concerns.
