Fatherhood is an oft overlooked aspect of pregnancy. This is obviously because the most excited parts of pregnancy are the growing baby, all of which takes place inside mom's body. In recent years much has been talked about in terms of how dads need help emotionally and physically being drawn into the pregnancy and how to promote a healthy pregnancy via dad's involvement.
