Are you expecting your first baby, but you have no idea how to prepare for this life-changing event? Are you anxious and doubtful about your ability to raise a healthy kid? Are you worried about how your partner feels during pregnancy, but you're not sure if you're doing the right thing to make her feel loved and supported? While the excitement of your first baby's arrival is one of the most wonderful things you can ever experience, it comes with doubts and insecurities.
