It's not just women who like to read up on pregnancy-related articles, men also like to know what to expect.
However, while we embrace and admire our male counterparts for their interest in all things baby, there is one thing that we just CANNOT stand: men who comment or judge women, without any REAL LIFE experience.
So if you are a man who loves nothing more than reading up on what to expect when your other half is pregnant, take note fo the following nine points before you go any further.
1. You have not nor will you ever be able to push a tiny person out of your vagina. Ever.
So don't even begin to try to relate...
2. You can never possibly begin to understand what breastfeeding a baby is like
Congratulate and offer support, by all means - but never pass judgement or criticise
3. Only comment from EXPERIENCE
How you felt as a DAD; how you coped with our new role; how you helped your other half - they're all good to go.
4. Never bad mouth the mother of your children
Like ever.
5. Never write ANYTHING that puts anyone down or makes any woman feel bad
A scorned pregnant woman is dangerous.
6. Never tell a woman what she should or should not do
See point three above.
7. Your advice CAN be helpful
If you phrase it correctly
8. Always think: what would my other half think if they read this
If she's not going to be best pleased with ti then quit while you're ahead and move on.
9. Women have every right to criticise you if you say something you know you shouldn't
That one is just a heads up!
