There's an old adage that women start to feel like mothers when they get pregnant, but men don't start to feel like fathers until the baby is born, and maybe even a little bit after. This can set up the first few months of parenthood off on a rocky start. One of you might be a little behind the other, and unsure how to help, or how to be a parent. This is hopefully solved by good communication and commitment to each other. But even the strongest couples are going to come up against some roadblocks.
