My DH has been absolutely wonderful throughout my pregnancy (it's our first and he has been so supportive, helpful, involved and loving) but now d-day is approaching (I am 37+4) I think he's starting to panic about things eg: a) being the sole provider b) never sleeping again c) all my affection for him being diverted onto the LO d) something going wrong at the birth e) our relationship changing beyond recognition... the usual general worries about how drastically our lives are going to change.
Can anyone give me some advice about how to make him feel a bit better about all of this? I am pretty bloody anxious myself plus tired, hormonal etc but I want to make him feel looked after and let him know that it will all be OK. Any advice from dads would be very welcome!
