Cupid’s Advice:Â
Just as Roger Mathews supported his fiancé Jenni Farley, a man can help make his partner’s pregnancy more comfortable during its’ final days. With the end in sight, each day seems to drag on, delaying he delivery of your little miracle into the world. In this crucial time it is imperative that each partner reaches out to each other for support in order to be fully prepared to make this wonderful addition to your family.
1. Have the birthing plan ready:Â Though sometimes things don’t go according to plan, it’s always best to be ready for anything. Pack the hospital bag, make the necessary arrangements, and have your list of people to call at hand so you can be out the door at a moment’s notice. This will be one more thing you can check off your to-do list, and it never hurts to pack things ahead of time.

2. Get plenty of rest:Â The best thing you can do for your partner is to be fully rested and functional for when the special day comes. No one wants to be half-asleep or at 50% the day their child is born. This also limits the amount of stress you may be feeling with the approaching due-date. A minimum of eight hours a night may seem impossible, but for the sanity of you and your partner, and for the health of your baby, sleep is absolutely necessary.

Not only will you love and cherish your child, but you’ll constantly be worried about whether or not you’re doing what’s best for them. In these last few days of pregnancy emotions are at an ultimate high, so be there to calm each other down and support one another as your due-date approaches.
