Pregnancy periods comes with a lot of responsibility for the man as much as the woman, any attempt to make this section a one-sided show could be disastrous. We will be exploring the involvement of the man during this critical period of maternal health.

This period serves as an entry point for greater fatherhood involvement. Men should ask their partners about the type of involvement and support they prefer - They should not force their involvement. It is not about the man rather the focus is the health of the mother and the incoming baby. So it should be as she wants it.

Here are more involvement strategies for you;

• Save money for delivery

• Save money for emergency

• Be there for her

• Encourage, reassure and show affection

• Join a community of soon to be fathers

• Help with domestic chores

• Ask her about what she learnt during ANC if you cannot follow her
