woman are welcome to tell me how there husbunds or partner was..
thanks

hey all i can say from my point of view is no matter how unattached from the whole situation u feel, which is normal n understandable, just be there as much as possible. listen, let her shout and hold her when she cries. u dont know whats going on with our hormones but to be honest we dont know either and it freaks us out as much as is does u!!! good luck with ur baby and the birth!! i havent got to that bit yet, still hav 8 weeks left!!! take care of urself and ur growing family!!

sean says... its a mental time all the way through u dont know wether you are comin or goin she will bite ur head off 1 min and the next she is cryin and sayin she loves you but all u need to remember its ur fault she is like that and the end result is gonna be the best thing to ever happen to you so jst love her and be there for watever she needs and wants

hi maddy.oniell i was so nervouse when my girlfriend was pregnant all these different things going through your head about what its going to be like and how your going to cope with everything but to be honest nothing can prepare you. you just have to be as supportive as possible and go with the flow and when the big day comes youll never be so scared again in your life the only way i can describe it is sureal, but its the best feeling ive ever had and the rest comes naturaly in time as long as you try your best im sure youll be a fantastic dad. ow well all the best im sure youll be just fine mate good luck!!!

thanks mo2 for your reply harder than I thought to gets dads replying. I just keep thinking about the big day over and over in my head and am by her side evryday as much as I can. She keeps wanting to watch live birth programmes though to see what to expect and I cant bring my self to watch them.! oh well counting down the days and getting more excitably nervous!

well done to all you dads who support your ladies, hold your heads up and be proud the best day of your life is about to come, it will be worth all the nagging crying and mood swings believe me!
wish my babys/chikdrens dad was as suppoortive as he hasnt seen my 3 month old baby yet!
hugs to you all xxx

My wife is now 17 weeks pregnant (or 17 and 4 days if you ask her - I think she knows the hours too!).

Very emotional time - incrediably happy and excitied. And at the same time scared sensless.

Sometimes it's hard to know how to be supportive; I can remember my wife's first bout of morning sickness - I just stood behind her patting her back muttering "there, there; well done" as she threw up her breakfast! But I have found the best way is to become invloved as much as possible; read the books and mags with her, ask questions and of course ask how she's feeling. But remember it's your time too; enjoy it.

I've started a blog on the pregnancy from the Dad to be's point of view: http://bumplooksbig.blogspot.com/ please feel free to drop by and comment.

Best of luck

my wife is now 18 weeks and the thought of the labour absoluetly scares the [censored] out of me sometimes it is hard to be supportive but for everytime ure woman does ure head in you have to think what you get at end

my partner is expecting our second child (the first is only 7months old) all i can say to all the first time dads out there is when the hormones are fliying just take a deap breath and remember the wonderous thing your wife/partner is doing for you and the little miricle you will recieve, be there every time she needs you and do not miss a second of your babys birth trust me its worth it

I can't wait :) :)

My girflriend is emotional at the best of times, but I am learning to keep quiet... lol :)

It is a great thing and I am fully ready for the committment. I just want to be a great dad and a loving partner, that is all I could hope for.
