Week 8 of pregnancy: what dads should do
The first appointment window
Many couples have a first visit around now. It's a good time to ask questions.
3 things to do this week
- Go to the appointment if you can and take notes
- Ask the care team who to call with questions after hours
- Save that number in your phone
How to support her
After the visit, ask her how she felt about it, not just what was said.
For you
If you felt left out at the appointment, that's common. Ask your own questions next time.
