NEWS UPDATE
"DADS IN TRAINING"
"While they are fully involved in the
baby-making part, dads-to-be can feel a
bit left out of the rest of the pregnancy
process. Fathers-To-Be offers courses and
training, helping men understand birth and
preparing them for their new role."
My girlfriend has just told me
she’s pregnant but I’ve never
liked kids. In fact, I can’t stand
them. I’m 22 and she is 21. We’ve
been together for three years and
things have been great until now.
When I was still at school my
older brother’s kids used to stay
at our house. They would do
nothing but make a mess and
screamed at all hours of the day.
Since then I have never liked
kids.
We always used contraception-yet
my girlfriend still conceived. She
has already said she’ll leave if I
don’t love the baby so I thought
I’d at least try. We went for the
first scan last week. Everyone has
said it is supposed to bring a
tear to your eye, but it just made
me feel sick. It’s going to
destroy my life and I don’t know
if I can handle it.
Deidre says:
I don’t know what was going on
with your older brother’s kids but
children don’t have to scream and
cry all of the time. They are
always demanding and can be noisy-
but can bring more joy than just
about anything else in life.
The first scan picture can often
demand lots of imagination to see
anything like a baby, so don’t
give up on the idea yet.
Your little one will quickly pick
up on any unease you feel. So
