OBSERVE AND LISTEN TO YOUR PARTNER. Instead
of trying to guess your partner’s feelings during the pregnancy, watch and listen
to what she says. If she tells you she is anxious, do your best to reassure her.
If she tells you she wants to rest, make sure she rests;
SHOW GOOD EXAMPLE. She won’t find it
easy to stop to smoke or drink alcohol if you do these things in front of her. Help
her to give up these habits by giving them up yourself.
EXPECT CHANGING MOODS. No matter how
close and loving you and your partner are to each other, the chances are that
she will be more irritable and emotionally sensitive than usual at this time. She
may also become moody. Don’t take this personally.
AVOID BEING AUTHORITATIVE. It’s your partners’
body and you shouldn’t emphatically tell
her what to do and what to avoid in order looking after herself. Present any
suggestions, for instance, about a healthy diet, as an idea rather than orders
she must follow.
BE INTERESTED. The fact that you
cannot understand what it is like having a baby grow inside you should not stop
you from being interested in the physical changes that your partner goes
through. She wants your attention.
