EXPECTING A BABY TOGETHER?
The third trimester is a time of big changes, not just for the mum-to-be, but for both partners.
I often remind couples at Samā that while one partner is carrying the baby, both are preparing for a whole new chapter of life. And feeling supported, understood and cared for can make such a difference.
The third trimester can be physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. And sometimes, she may not even know how to ask for help.
Here are a few little things that can make a BIG difference.
-Don’t wait to be asked. Take charge of meals, chores and baby preparations. Small gestures matter!
-Make rest easier. Help her get comfortable, offer a gentle massage and give her opportunities to rest.
-Check in with her. A simple “How are you feeling today?” or “What can I do to make things easier?” goes a long way.
-Listen without trying to fix everything. She may have fears about labour, birth or motherhood. Sometimes, she just needs you to listen and reassure her.
-Prepare for birth together. Attend childbirth classes, understand labour and learn how you can support her.
-Think beyond delivery. Plan how you’ll share responsibilities and support her recovery once your baby arrives.
And here’s something I really want every dad-to-be to remember…
You don’t have to know everything or be the perfect partner. Just be willing to learn, listen and show up.
Because fatherhood begins long before your baby arrives.
At Samā Birthing & Beyond, our Becoming a Father – The Emotional Shift Workshop helps dads-to-be understand their changing role, emotions and responsibilities as they step into fatherhood.
💌 DM us to know more.
Mamas-to-be, share this with your partner. Dads, save this little reminder!
