You have to deal with physical and emotional ups and downs for a long 40 weeks, but Dad may not quite understand it all until he feels the baby move for the first time. Once movements are felt from outside the womb, dads tend to instantly realize that fatherhood is on the horizon, and then doubts may start to creep up. Am I going to be a good father? Can I financially provide for a baby? How am I going to help out at home and work as well? These are all common questions expectant fathers have before the baby arrives. Take time together to discuss any worries or fears you both may have. Sometimes venting is enough to let the worry subside.
