Fatherly advice

IT is safe to say that our partners do not relish the idea of getting bigger and being powerless to do anything about it, or having to ride the emotional see-saw of constant mood swings, or worse yet, having to endure a bout of morning sickness which can strike at ‘any time’ of the day, but as an expectant dad there are certain things you can do to support mum-to-be:

* First off, show an interest — try to attend scans and antenatal classes, talk to friends and family who already have children about their experiences.

*Make some sacrifices of your own — quit smoking, eat more healthily and help out more with the household chores.
