All about Fathering

05th December 2009


Today we went to attend the 3rd part of the antenatal class. It was a long one from 9am to 2pm but it really leaves a deep impact in my heart, particularly on the second half of the class, the speaker from the Centre For Fathering Singapore introduced the topic on fathering.


He shared a lot of personal experience about being a father, preparation, changes and challenges faced etc etc, But towards the last part he read to everyone about a story which essentially highlight how a mother's love transformed a man to love his child the same way the mother did. My tears well up my eyes at the end, it was so touching when he repeatedly sing this simple song, emotionally.



"I'll love you forever,

I'll like you as always,

As long as i am living,

My baby you'll be"



A lot of attention has been put on mother and baby when it comes to pregancy but we should be aware too that father plays an equally important role in this journey. Fathers, too experience emotional and phychological changes throughout the entire process, only short of biological changes as compared to the mothers.


I am quite confident with the father of my baby who aims to be the hero for his son, and i know he will strive to make his son proud of him :) Daddy, 加油啊！ And THANK YOU for getting me the MOZART collection of womb songs for baby.


Let's remember the way a baby spells LOVE is "T I M E", we have to spend a lot of effort and time in the future to really nurture and understand our baby well.
