Right now, your spouse may be very caring, but once your new baby arrives, both of you will have hands full. Make sure you are ready with these checklists.

Also, ask your doctor or your partner's doctor about any steps you can take to ensure a safe pregnancy. For example, if you are a smoker, do your part to quit. Second-hand smoke contains chemicals that can harm your baby before and after delivery.

The beginning

The thought of your baby being born can scare you. However, you can do a lot to make things happen more smoothly.

• The burning class will teach you the basics.
• Discuss pain management during childbirth with your partner.
• Learn massage techniques to help your spouse during and after childbirth.
• Visit the hospital where your baby will be born.
• Create a path to the most effective facility.
• Make a list of key phone numbers and program them into your phone.
• If you have other children, make arrangements for babysitting during delivery.
• List the people who need to be notified when the baby is born.
• Your spouse wants you to be with them for support. You need to decide how active you want to be together. Consider your two personalities, how you treat each other, and what you expect from partnership labor and delivery. In the ideal world, they will get the support they need and you will pitch at a level that suits you.

These are just some of the father roles now. As long as it works for both of you, it doesn’t matter what you choose.

Become a Mentor This is the most active part of the job. You support and encourage your spouse, as well as treat the medical staff as their champion. You can pick up the baby and put it on their stomach under certain circumstances.

You will learn about each stage of childbirth, how your partner may feel or behave during this time, and how to help them through breathing and relaxation techniques in childbirth classes. Childbirth classes, no matter how busy you are, can help ease your mind about childbirth and help you understand what to anticipate.

Share coaching. Labor is a long and difficult process for both of you. You may want to enlist the help of a friend or family member. It can help coach someone and be with your spouse when you need to eat or relax. The extra person can help you mentally and physically.

Try to work as a team. If you want to join sports and do not want to be a quarterback, you can enjoy this job. You provide support and encouragement when your spouse asks, but you are willing to tell them or the nurses what to do and how much to say.

Outside, you have to wait. Under certain circumstances, a mother may not want to be the father of her child. If you are not pregnant or you are separated from them there is a big chance that they will not. If your presence in the room is stressed for any reason, it can make childbirth and childbirth even more challenging. Then you have to be somewhere else.

On the other hand, living with your partner is a great decision for many fathers. In one survey, 81 percent of new fathers reported that the experience was satisfying and enjoyable. No matter how busy you are, pushing your baby into the world, at last, is an unforgettable event.
