Advice for dads

You might not be pregnant, but it’s important to know what’s happening to your partner during pregnancy and to support her during this time.

Find out about your changing partner, how you can support her and how to be ready for baby’s birth.

· Your changing partner

During pregnancy your partner will change. Not just her body shape, but also how she acts around you and other people.

In early pregnancy (up to around 12–14 weeks) your partner may feel very tired. Certain tastes and smells might make her feel sick, and she might seem grumpy for no reason. This usually goes away in mid-pregnancy and she will feel much better again.

In the second half of pregnancy, as baby gets bigger and the birth approaches, your partner may feel tired again and start feeling worried or anxious. If she’s feeling worried or anxious, get her to talk about her feelings. You may feel the same way – so listening and talking to each other is a great way to support each other during pregnancy and after baby is born.

· Help around the house

- Share the housework.

- Do the cooking. Some food smells may put your partner off cooking; if you cook she’s more likely to eat what she needs to stay healthy and well.

- Do the heavy lifting. Carry the groceries, washing baskets, older children, etc.

- Help with older children. Take them to school or daycare, get them ready for bed, and take them out of the house for a while so your partner can rest.

· Stay healthy and well

Both of you need to be healthy and well for your baby. This includes getting plenty of sleep, being active, eating well and being smokefree.

Throughout the pregnancy your partner will have checks to make sure that she and the baby are well. Try to get to as many of these checks as you can. That way you’ll learn more about the pregnancy and you’ll be supporting your partner at the same time.

You could also attend classes together to learn about pregnancy, giving birth and parenting. You’ll meet other dads-to-be and be able to talk about the pregnancy and the approaching birth. Plus, the more you know about what happens during labour and birth, the more you’ll be able to help.

Sometimes there are problems during pregnancy that need urgent medical attention. Know what the danger signs are.

Remember, women are strong and able to grow a baby and give birth. Birthing women often know what they need, so follow your partner’s lead in labour. If you are worried about labour and birth, make sure you discuss this with the midwife and have your questions answered.

· Be ready for the birth

Babies arrive when they want to – this could be before or after the due date. Here’s a list of things to think about or do in the final few weeks before the due date.

· Getting your home ready for baby

Your baby needs a safe place to sleep. They need to be in their own cot, bassinet or other baby bed for every sleep.

The Tapuaki website has a list of what you might need after your baby is born, including for when you are out and about, accessories (for changing baby’s nappy, wraps to keep baby warm, etc), clothes for baby and things for you.

If you need financial support to help with the cost of having a baby, see the Work and Income website.

· Stocking up

Both you and your partner will be busy with your new baby in the first few weeks, so do as much planning as you can in advance. Stock up on basics, such as toilet paper, sanitary pads and nappies. If you have a freezer, cook some meals in advance and freeze them. Ask your whānau and friends to help you.

· Time off work

Partner’s leave is available to help you support your partner and your new baby. If you are eligible, this will be 1 or 2 weeks of unpaid leave. You can find out more about partner’s leave on the Employment New Zealand website.

You might not be pregnant, but it's important to know what’s happening to your partner during pregnancy and to support her during this time.

你可能没有怀孕，但重要的是要知道你的伴侣在怀孕期间发生了什么，并在这个时期支持她。

Find out about your changing partner, how you can support her and how to be ready for baby's birth.

了解你不断变化中的伴侣，你可以如何支持她，以及如何为宝宝的出生做好准备。

· Your changing partner 你不断变化中的伴侣

During pregnancy your partner will change. Not just her body shape, but also how she acts around you and other people.

在怀孕期间，你的伴侣会发生变化。不仅仅是她的体形，还有她在你和其他人身边的表现。

In early pregnancy (up to around 12–14 weeks) your partner may feel very tired. Certain tastes and smells might make her feel sick, and she might seem grumpy for no reason. This usually goes away in mid-pregnancy and she will feel much better again.

在孕早期（直到12-14周左右），你的伴侣可能会感到非常疲惫。某些味道和气味可能使她感到不适，她可能无缘无故地显得脾气暴躁。这通常会在孕中期消失，她会感觉好很多。

表示“脾气坏的，易生气的；爱抱怨的”，英文解释为“easily annoyed and complaining”举个🌰：

I hadn't had enough sleep and was feeling kind of grumpy.

我睡眠不足，所以感到有点烦躁。

In the second half of pregnancy, as baby gets bigger and the birth approaches, your partner may feel tired again and start feeling worried or anxious. If she's feeling worried or anxious, get her to talk about her feelings. You may feel the same way – so listening and talking to each other is a great way to support each other during pregnancy and after baby is born.

在怀孕的后半期，随着宝宝变大和分娩的临近，你的伴侣可能会再次感到疲惫，并开始感到担心或焦虑。如果她感到担心或焦虑，让她谈谈她的感受。你可能也有同样的感觉--所以倾听和交谈是在怀孕期间和宝宝出生后支持对方的好方法。

Throughout the pregnancy your partner will have checks to make sure that she and the baby are well. Try to get to as many of these checks as you can. That way you'll learn more about the pregnancy and you'll be supporting your partner at the same time.

在整个怀孕期间，你的伴侣将接受产检，以确保她和宝宝的健康。尽可能多地参加这些检查。这样你会了解更多关于怀孕的情况，同时你也会支持你的伴侣。
