Very thoughtful of you! My hb and I also had our precious LO late in life and after 10 marriage. Sometimes hard to adapt to the addition to our family. Help with Household chores! Ask how she feels at the end of a long day, give hugs. Buy a nice gift for Mother’s Day even though haven’t popped yet (if haven’t). Be involved in the prep like shopping for baby stuff like stroller, car seat.

Thanks for the tips . !

hi daddy! after delivery, please help her with household chores! delivery, whether by normal or csect is tough on the body. please also help her with the baby! she may not ask for help but she needs it. also, please be more understanding during that time as she is very hormonal and may have baby blues. congratulations to the both of you!

Understand her when she’s having mood swings or don’t feel like doing the deed. Also she might get leg cramps so help her to ease the pain if she does scream for help at night. Talk to your baby and touch her belly. Read up, attend courses or watch YT on how to change diapers, wipe/bathe baby, feeding

Hi! Personally i think giving listening to her rants and needs would be great. Maybe giving a massage every night will help too. Pregnancy is really tough so such things will help :) so glad you’re trying your best to be supportive. It’ll be comforting for her.
