ОглавлениеThough the focus is on your partner — she is, after all, the one carrying your child — you also matter, and you have the right to voice your opinions along the way. Throughout the pregnancy, share what you’re experiencing and let her know what scares you. She has a lot to think through and worry about, too, but the more you deal with those issues together, the stronger your relationship will become.
If you have thoughts and opinions about what kind of delivery option you’re most comfortable with, share those with her as well. Although ultimately you need to let your partner pick the childbirth option that’s best for her, she deserves to know your feelings on the matter. Getting involved in the decision-making process isn’t just your right — it’s the right thing to do.
