At the time when it is confirmed that you are pregnant and there is a new life taken birth inside you and it is growing inside your body, consider a few things and start changing your life.

Think positive and be positive all the times

Because the way you will think, it will be the way your body will respond towards your baby. A pregnant woman needs to understand that she is doing an extremely important work by giving birth to a new life and this work is not only fruitful but is magical and should take it easy and start to care for herself because it is the best way to care for your unborn baby. This should be understood by both mother and father because when it comes to being pregnant or after that raising the baby, cooperation between both partners becomes really essential. When you are pregnant that is the beginning of time which is nine months when your partner will have to take over some of the chores which you were doing before and then also some time after nine months the father of the baby should understand and cooperate with his wife because the care of the newborn baby will consume a lot of his wife’s time and will not leave enough time for her. Therefore, fathers should start it from today as they should start performing some household chores, while the mother rests and takes care of the newborn baby. In the same way that the baby is changing inside you, things outside also need to adapt to the new situation to come. Therefore mothers are advised to sleep as much as possible with the baby, as the fatigue can take hold of them and when the baby is awake, you are not sleeping so that you give maximum time to your baby.

Listen to your body and respond to all the messages you receive

Changes in your tummy, swollen legs, the heart has a greater burden because in pregnancy, it has to generated about 1.5 more liters of blood than normally for the baby. Your breasts become big and start to grow each day. These signs are unique to pregnancy and only you will enjoy these for that time being. Don’t take embarrassing as this is what nature has made you up for and all this is natural and happens with every women who becomes pregnant in the world. During the first month the outer changes are minimal, but what is happening inside your body is of paramount importance.


Warmth of motherhood.

Responsibility of fathers when raising a newborn

Slowly but steadily you both have to work like a team for the care of your small baby because the new life has come from the God as a gift for you both and you both need to raise your baby by collaborating with each other and understanding baby’s and each other’s needs. As I am myself a father of a 2-year-old kid, I know how magical it is when the nurse gives the baby in your hands for the first time but when you get home and a few days pass away, you think that my life has totally changed, so both partners have to understand that there is a lot of sacrifice and patience involved in raising a baby, so fathers need to change the diapers of the babies also when the mother is not around because you don't want your small innocent cute baby to remain in a soiled diaper. Isn't you??

You seem to be a very hands-on father. I love to hear of that. I think too many fathers aren't hands on enough, and they really don't see the detriment their absence can cause to a child. Thanks for reminding us just how important the role of the father is in taking care of newborn babies.

Even now when my daughter is two years old, I sometimes take care of her when I am writing hubs sitting at home, that's why I have to stand again and again from my seat which is sometimes embarrassing when writing something important but I love her and I am always fine with this as she is small and I have to take care of her in her mother's absence.

Great job being a dad! It is all worth it and before you know it - poof - ours are 33, 31, and 30. Bob was a great dad and that is what is truly important (as well as having a hands-on mom). You can't emphasize the importance of participating dads enough though as I had one of those deadbeat dads who disappeared - having a good dad is a treasure....the writing was great, too by the way!

Thank you so much akirchner. You can see the pic of my daughter Shronika in my profile. We got that pic when she was just 1 year old and now is 2 year and three months old. Your story is really interesting. You have three very growup kids, 33, 31, and 30 that's fabulous. I think I have to learn a lot from you as you have almost double the experience of life as I have.

Yes, I think I am one of the 'old ones' in more ways than one. I had little experience with children and from my background of abuse, it was very frightening to have my own but what a ride! Gosh - I still cry about sometimes because it was over so fast. It was the greatest privilege I ever had in my life meeting my children and loving them and sharing 35+ years with my hubby. He was a great father and that is so remarkable. It is the greatest gift you can give your children - having parents that truly love them and do everything they can not for them but to understand them and enjoy them. I truly did and still do - I just lament that they are so 'old' but then I guess that happens and they are still who they are and we are who we are. Some things are permanent - which I was looking for and received in triplicate! What treasures - enjoy your little one as I know you are - it all just goes by too darned fast!

I agree with your personal feelings about your children and gone through your sad story but I found each and every word o yours correct and convincing according to your situation. Thanks a lot akirchner for sharing those wonderful thoughts and experience you have in parenting.

Great hub! I remember my pastor telling one father who wasn't feeling as attached to his newborn as he though he should, "Go home and change diapers." It worked. Like all things, the more you invest, the deeper the love becomes.
