I am going to be a father for the first time what should i expect or any advice?

i am married my wife is 5 months and we found out it is going to be a girl just coming on here for some advise and just to learn things i should knowI am going to be a father for the first time what should i expect or any advice?
CONGRATULATIONS!!


well be prepared for the 4am feedings and the hourly changing of the nappies. You may not feel like a proper father in the beginning but have no fear. The first time she grabs your finger, or looks at you- you will know that she is yours and the little heart she has inside her will be always with you.


Good luck. Don't be worried about anything, it Will come naturally. And if your wife screams at you for a cup of tea or a piece of toast- JUST DO IT! you will be very thankful that you did what she said in the long run ha haI am going to be a father for the first time what should i expect or any advice?
congrats daddy-to-be! advice...where to start.... lol! there is no such thing as spoiling a baby. if she cries, take care of her. even if it's every hour around the clock. she will settle into her own routine as long as you stay persistant and patient. will you be staying home a few days after the birth or are you going right back to work? either way, help around the house as much as you can (dont feel bad for asking family or friends to help a little...), since the mama will be exhausted. babies dont go by the book. reference books are good for general advice, but if your baby isnt following page by page, dont worry.
All the pregnancy classes and books prepare you for the birth and for the child but not emotions that comes on the mother and that is what the fathers have to deal with. I am a mother of 2 young boys and I love it but after I had both of them I experienced crazy emotions from crying a lot to depression to laughing the next minute. It all wore off after a few months of having the kids but thankfully I had my wonderful husband to be by my side with support and understanding. Limit your arguments after your baby is born, help out around the house so she doesn't have to worry about it!!
