Many men experience an on going fear that something will happen to the unborn child or the mother. There is always that thought that something will go wrong. This of course is an extremely fearful thought and it remains with many men throughout the entire pregnancy period. The next great fear is that their partners will love the new baby more than they love them and that they will be tossed aside as their partners no longer have time for them. A man may feel guilty for having this thought, the truth is this is a very human emotion and it is often misplaced in most cases, this is also a common fear experienced by children who sometimes fear that their mothers will love the new baby more. This too is also one of the fears of many experienced dads and is not just limited to first time dads. These fears should be discussed with mom so that she is aware of them and everyone can feel comfortable.
An issue that is also foremost in the minds of many men is the birth of the child and the fact that these days most fathers are expected to be in the delivery room, unlike in times past. Many men who are going to be fathers for the first time are especially fearful of this. They have heard all the stories about birth and are apt to wonder if they can deal with all the pressure, they wonder if they will be able to cope with seeing their partner in pain and they wonder if they will be able to find any emotional support or if they themselves will become too weak at this time to support their partner and the new baby that is about to come into the world.
Another issue that many men face is that of being there for their partners during delivery. Many of them wonder if they will be able to cope with watching their partners giving birth and enduring all that pain. They fear they will break down and not be able to cope during the most painful and dramatic moment. Perhaps this is common place for all men, the concern about whether or not they will be a good father this is especially true of first time fathers who fear that they will not know what is best for the child and that they will make mistakes that will adversely affect their child. Imagine feeling all of this and being too afraid to tell anyone, well this is not uncommon at all and it is a shame that there aren't more support groups for expectant dads so that they can realize that their feelings are completely normal and that other men have these same issues.
Men are constantly afraid for the health of their unborn child and the mother. There is always a thought in the back of their mind that something might go wrong with either the baby or their partner. This kind of thinking drives fear into a lot of men and it is constantly with some of them. Men also fear that their partners will love the baby more than them and that they will be excluded and that their partners will no longer have any time for them.
The parallel fear to this is the one that may make a man begin to wonder if he will no longer be relevant to his partner, he fears that she will love the new baby more than him and that she will no longer have time for him. This thought can often bring a lot of guilt, after all it is his own baby that the man finds himself jealous of, again, these are normal fears that should not be swept under the rug but discussed with the man's partner.
