Concerns that your man has when you get pregnant are real. They cannot be ignored. Even if your man denies it, he has a few thoughts that make him feel worried. Find out what issues he needs to solve to feel happy and relaxed.


1. What if my baby is born during my working hours?

It is very probably that your spouse will deliver the baby when you are at work. You can talk to your boss and ask whether you will be allowed to get out of work in case of emergency. Ask for permission and advice. Be flexible and talk to your partner about your possible absence. This will help you avoid misunderstandings. If you are not in the delivery room, it does not mean that you are indifferent to your wife and child.


2. Can I make my baby feel totally safe?

Men worry that when the baby is on their watch, something bad may happen and they won’t be able to predict it or protect the child from the danger. What a man can do is to love his child and be around when needed. Do not blame everything on yourself or your partner. Each of us experienced some sort of pains and injuries as kids. You cannot keep your baby isolated from the world anyways.


3. Sleepless nights for the rest of my life?

No. That never last forever. However, you baby won’t let you sleep for a year or so. Some babies are very calm and do not cause too much trouble to their moms and dads.

There’re kids who won’t sleep throughout the whole night. Just know that this may happen and do not feel nervous or angry about it. Use the time you can find to have a rest. Instead of reading a newspaper or browsing the net, take a nap and try to regain your power and charge with energy. Listen to calm music and do yoga to relax and remove stress and tension.


4. How much money will it cost me?

Your funds should be sufficient enough to provide your baby with all he or she needs to grow healthy. This will definitely change your life and probably both parents will need to work harder to make more money. You need to increase your budget if your goal is to give your kid food, clothing, home and education. As long as your child depends on you, you are responsible for everything. Be prepared for unexpected expenses since you cannot always control events, health issues and other things that naturally happen to all families.
