“Today, women are fearless.”
“Today, women can manage anything and everything independently.”
“Today, women are enough for themselves.”
Reading all these sentences, you must have said ‘’Yes!” aloud. Granted, everything is correct, but a little love and support never hurt. Specially, when it comes to a woman who is going to be a mother of your child. Women have their own special powers and when it comes to motherhood, they attract some more power from the universe. The only exception: They need their partner to understand the difficulties of this phase and be with them. When most men do work up the courage to be a strong daddy, even when the child has not arrived, they earn the most special place.
What always matters is how appreciative a man is at this moment. Here are few curated instances to help the would-be fathers be appreciative of this gorgeous phase.

Pregnancy comes with a big T&C document. A lot of likings turn into dislikes and vice-versa. Here, the partner needs to understand the changes and make sure his wife is not encountering any sorts of unpleasant experiences. Specially, the dietary choices, as this is the phase where most women start developing repugnance for particular things.
3. Be Emotionally Strong

The most important thing: Dads needs to be emotionally stronger than moms when having a baby. Moms experience both: strength and weakness during these nine months. Here, they look up to their partners, when emotionally weak. Putting all the fears and jitters away, being the strongest is the best thing a man can do.
4. Talk About Your Worries
