Baby Shower Questions For Daddy
As a new dad, you will be playing an important role as your spouse’s labor coach. Your spouse will be look to you for encouragement and support. Follow these tips on being a great labor coach for the mom to be:
Be prepared and study. It is hard to provide support while you are searching for websites about pregnancy and labor on your cell phone. Finish your reading beforehand, familiarize yourself on what happens during labor, and the procedures your spouse may experience. That way you can ask the right questions if something does not seem right.
Be there for her. Labor can last for hours (or days!) before giving birth. Help her relax, get her water, walk the halls during contractions, give her a hand to squeeze. Now is the time to do what ever you can to support her physically and emotionally.
Pack for yourself. Hospitals are not hotels, the only amenity you should expect is an uncomfortable, worn out chair. Bring a comfy pair of clean clothes and toiletries. Pack a bathing suit as well, you might find yourself joining your spouse in the tub or shower.
Ask Questions. Don’t be shy with doctors and nurses. Sometimes medical professionals are not as talkative as one would wish. Your spouse may not be up to asking questions herself it is up to you to speak up. There is no such thing as a stupid question!
Help distract her. Use the knowledge you have learned to help her through the pain of contractions. You are the coach after all, so be in charge. Cheer her on, and encourage her during contractions. Suggest position changes, rub her feet, wipe the sweat from her forehead; do anything you can to help.
Be prepared to make decisions. Your spouse will be tired, weak, and in pain so you may have to make decisions on her behalf. Hopefully you and your spouse have a birth plan in place as it will help with the decision making. You will want to know what her wishes, and expectations for drugs, intervention, etc before entering the hospital.
Don’t take it personally. Your spouse may become outwardly irritable at times. You may find that she will enjoy a back rub one minute, and be totally repulsed by human contact by the next. She may be in her own little word dealing with the pain so tred lightly, you do not want to add any fuel to the fire!

Baby Shower question…a little confused
If you are having a baby and you are alone (the father is not with the mother of the baby but might be in the childs life after birth but not sure) do you still have a Baby Shower and do you invite his side of the family or just your family and friends or do you even have a baby shower if there is no daddy? Sorry I am so new to all of this Please offer some advice. Thank you!
well if there is a chance that you might be going through this without the help of a father it is in your child’s best interest that you invite any and all possible family members of his and your family because chances are you are going to need as much gifts as possible to lift the financial burden partially off of you. and just because he hasnt decided whether or not he wants to be in this child’s life doesnt mean that his family wants to abandon the child as well. his family may very well be looking foward to the new addition and giving all the love, help, and support that you both will need!! good luck!! and even if his family isnt invloved or doesnt want to be, try to talk to them because they will be missing out but the biggest victim will be the unborn child…
