Advice for fathers-to-be in the 20th week of pregnancy
Fathers-to-be should be with the pregnant woman from the moment the pregnancy is first learned until the birth and the postpartum period. This should be both physical and spiritual. Mothers-to-be who cannot keep up with the changes in their bodies may experience psychological problems. The father-to-be should be with his wife, making them feel that they are not alone and that they are starting this process together. On the other hand, since mothers-to-be share their bodies with their babies, they may have difficulty doing some tasks that they used to handle on their own in their daily lives. In this case, in order not to harm the pregnant woman and the baby, mothers-to-be should not be given heavy tasks, but they should be accompanied by regular walks and light sports. Unlike the normal time frame, the mother-to-be tires quickly because her heart pumps blood twice as fast during pregnancy. The mother-to-be should rest frequently.
