Does the midwife or health visitor bring you a child first book start? from uk?

I got mine when I registered my son. But I think the health visitors have them as well, so ask.

My dad's health is bad, and I want him to hold my first child.?

We Answered:

I went through something similar with my father. My dad had always been a very weak person, constantly getting sick and running in and out of the hospital. He got very sick though in August 85. Me being his only biological child, I wanted him to see a biological grandchild and see me be a mother etc.
My husband and I were both young and had only been married for a year. He wanted to wait another year or two before having kids, while I on the other hand did not. I come from a big family, wanted one of my own and wanted my father to see me raise them. I knew he wouldn't be able to see my kids grow up, but I wanted him to at least see and hold one of them. My husband agreed simply because he saw how much it meant to me.
We found out we were pregnant in mid Nov and that the baby would be due in June. My dad saw me pregnant, saw ultrasound pictures, listened to me share my pregnancy experiences, discussed baby names etc.
He passed away though on March 8, 1986.
I was crushed that he didn't get to see the baby and extremely annoyed with myself for a number of reasons. A few nights before I gave birth though, I had a dream about my father. In the dream, I was sitting in the kitchen crying and my dad asked me what was wrong. I looked up and told him that I was upset that he wouldn't be able to hold or see my first baby. He laughed and said, "Of course I've seen the baby. She's a beautiful baby girl, but she's BALD as can be, Jen! She doesn't even have EYEBROWS or EYELASHES!" And in my dream I kept saying, Bald? A girl? And he said, "Yup..and she's going to be a rule tester, you'll see."
My bald baby girl was born on June 3, 1986. I didn't think anything of it until I saw that she didn't have eyelashes or eyebrows. I cried then and there. We named her Jaclyn, after my father Jack, and she was a rule tester...loved to see how much she could get away with. So I guess in a way, he saw my baby.
My suggestion would be to go with your gut feeling. I know this probably doesn't help you out much, but it's the best advice I can give you. You don't know where everyone will be 6ms, 1yr from now, so there is no right answer. Just remember that whether your father is there or not when you have your first child, have a little faith...he'll see your baby either way.
I wish you the best of luck and you're in our thoughts and prayers.

he wants to have children with you so timing shouldnt matter i completly understand your situation i wasnt married when my father died so at least you have time i would have loved to see him holding my child of course your husband will melt when he hears the heartbeat, see the ultrasound and hold your baby. and so will your father. timing shouldnt matter and he loves you very much to change his mind and say hell try earlier for your wishes. you have a great man. my husband did the same thing just cus i got baby fever before he did. its out of love so dont feel bad. good luck and baby dust girl hope all goes well. im sorry for your situation. im always free to talk if you need to.

Virgil Said:

Does the government pay for a child's health care for its first three years?

We Answered:

I hope not.

That is the responsibility of the parents. I had to pay to keep my son healthy and alive.

Rose Said:

about my career, marraige life , first child will be, wealth, health?

We Answered:

Unfortunately there is no way to know what the future will be. Everyone plans to have that perfect marriage, job and have 2 wonderful children that grow up to be successful. Then you will make lots of money and retire wealthy. However it seldom works out that way. There will be many problems and road blocks along the way and who knows where you will be in your later years. I can tell you from experience that my life turned out far differently than what I had planned at say age 18.
