Dear Daddy,
Only 4 more weeks! I will see you in 4 weeks! Can you believe that?! I hope I will see you there before meeting anyone else.
Mommy and I have been talking a lot. And I know she has been a little anxious lately. Especially, you are not around that often, or even if you are around, you are too busy to have a moment to “hang out” with us.
Mommy is a strong and independent girl. She doesn’t like people think that her petite size and gentle smile equal “I am fragile, I need help!” And she wish I will be the same and even stronger. However, giving birth should never be a single person’s journey.
Your company and support are so important to mommy and I that no one else can replace.
Mommy has heard a lot of good things about natural birth. Although she is not brave enough to refuse all types of pain medicine, but she is determined to do her best to hold off the pain medicine to the last minute.
Please don’t think of pain as a bad thing. The sense of pain tells mommy’s body to release needed hormone to help with delivery and after. During that time, she may be yelling, screaming, crying, looked upset and frustrated. What she will need is not pain medicine but your positive support, encouragement and comfort, tell her she is doing a good job, every contraction is a step closer to the end, and this will not last forever…
Of course, doctor may has the best knowledge, but every procedure should be questioned if it is necessary. If it is not necessary, mommy won’t want to get any drug and any cut on her body. And I will do my best to let mommy has a easy time.
After I am born, I should stay with mommy or you, skin-to-skin for at least an hour before taking a bath or getting any exam and shot. Do you know what kind of exams and shots I will receive at the nursery? It is time for you look it up.
All right, good luck! I will see you there! Take good care of mommy.
