It is
essential to have your partner ready for the new addition of the family. Most
of the time everything is only going to be about the person caring the child
for 9 months. Your partner can’t feel the pain, the joys and the movements from
inside but in my view it is essential for him to participate on the journey, as
after the baby is born things will change and he will be able to really feel
the same emotions as you.
For my
husband to be involved we decided to do a 8 weeks baby classes at the hospital.
It was a bit tiring as we needed to attend every Monday night after work from
6pm to 9pm. And sometimes we almost gave up as we were a bit sleepy, but we
know that this was very important.
We attended
the RWH classes with a Midwife that covered from birth to 3 months of the baby,
running from the body anatomy, birth to how to change a diaper and give a bath.
Somethings can be common sense, but it is important to hear again so we can
make sure we are in the right track.
But the
best part of this course was the networking. We meet other couples that also
were having their first baby and this helped us to see that were not alone in
this new world. We even have a FB page were we can keep track of all the babies
that are being born and organize meet ups. By the way I am the last one of the
group to have a baby, all the couples already had theirs. Mine is the only one
that wants to stay in the belly a little longer… she is too comfortable here.
While we
wait, we also have fun, so me and my husband are trying creative ways to pass
the time like this photo which we can’t stop looking and laugh at it ;)

Ju, I just love to read about your pregnancy. Great picture by the away! hahahahahah I so agree with your first or one of the first posts when you say that you have to prepare yourself and be calm, that seems obvious, but it is so important and not that easy to do.
