child birth is kinda supposed to have a bit of an edge of drama/uncertainty to it.

its good to be in touch with whats going on with you. being nervous is a sign that you're involved and focused.

But, remember to keep a very cool head, be calm, expect nothing and everything at once.

I had two radically different births between my two and even with the "easy" birth it was one thing after the other.

I don't want to give you my birth stories because thats just rude, and one thing you have to look out for is being bombarded with each and every bad birth story out there.

"Oh! Oh my god! You're pregnant! Let me tell you about the time I had to crawl through a field of glass while in labor for 40 days..."

the point is, there is no such thing as 100% effortless/smooth/easy when it comes to birth. It's a stupid emotional rollercoaster ride with amazing prizes at the end.


Go with the flow.



Call your insurance or read through things to see whats on the table. Look and see what your jobs offer for expecting parents. The laws have changed recently and I think men now get...3 weeks paternity. Save up those days. Don't be that dad that never goes to doctor appointments - I went to 90% of them and don't regret a second.
