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.
Many men are skeptical about their ability to cope with labor. Many men wonder if they will be able to deal with seeing their partner in pain and to deal with the whole process of birth. They fear that they might just break down emotionally and not be of much help, it is a very embarrassing if not humbling thought for a man. The most common fear is whether or not they will be a good father to this new life they helped to create, first time fathers of course feel the brunt of this insecurity.
Most men are afraid to tell anyone of their insecurities and keep their feelings bottled up, there are so many support groups for women but it is quite hard to find support groups for expectant fathers so that they can realize that these feelings are not unique to them and that several other fathers also go through these types of feelings.
Some men are constantly worried about the health of their unborn baby and about the health of the their partner, They may have reoccurring feelings that drive fear into them that something is going to go wrong with their partner or the baby at anytime. This can be a very debilitating thought, the thought of anything happening to the one you love and this new little person that you are beginning to love can overwhelm many men.
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.
