Conceiving Can Be Fun
"Should I adopt a child?"
So many ask, "Should I adopt a child?" The answer is clear: no, not if you can have one of your own. By all means try first. Conceiving can be fun, and is undertaken by many for its own sake. A word of warning, however; though you will run few risks during conception, you will enter rapidly into the period of pregnancy, which is fraught with danger.
How to guard your health during pregnancy
Medical science has long ago solved the problem of the woman during pregnancy. Put your wife in the hands of a good obstetrician and she will be well cared for. Pregnancy in the woman is normal and healthy. They often develop, even in their faces, a ruddy, full-blown, vigorous appearance.
Unfortunately, little thought has been given, either by medical science or by society as a whole, to the father during pregnancy. This is a critical and dangerous period, and during these nine months you can suffer damage, both mental and physical, that may last a lifetime.
Guard Against Colds
The expectant father soon learns that the pregnant woman has an overabundance of natural body heat. If, in her normal condition she likes a room temperature of 72, during pregnancy (and especially in the later stages) she will be snug and warm at 55.
"Davie, doesn't it feel stuffy in here?"
"Hadn't noticed it, pet."
(The inside thermometer reads 57°, and a twelve knot gale is blowing in through three open windows. But never complain.)
"Maybe you could open one more window."
"They're all open, pet, but I could knock out a wall."
Humor her, but preserve your own delicate system. Take these steps: (1) dress warmly, (2) keep your wife out of doors as much as possible, and (3) plan your periods of pregnancy. This last is best. Having babies in the fall can add: years to the father's life expectancy, and will improve his disposition. This may be done either by the accidental, or the "ooops-sorry!" type of conception so common to us all, or by deliberate planning.
Keep Up Your Strength
Keep yourself in trim physically, hard-muscled and well-nourished. This is not as easy as it sounds. During pregnancy your wife will be on a rigorous weight-reducing diet, combined with peculiar and unreasoning desires for food. Few men can do a hard day's work on a diet of cottage cheese, pickles, and grapefruit. Eat well, have plenty of rest, fresh air, and light exercise. You will be ready for the little one when he arrives.
Guard your mental health
Pregnancy, especially the first pregnancy, is a time of adjustment. Once you realize that by the simple act of conception you have committed yourself irrevocably to a series of events over which you will have virtually no control for the next thirty years, you become mentally a mass of quivering jelly.
If you are the schizophrenic type you may be found alone in dimly lit rooms biting your fingernails. If you veer toward the manic-depressive you may alternate between orgies of buying cribs and play-pens—and periods of muttering brokenly over old check stubs. Too often weaklings turn to alcohol for relief. Avoid this pitfall if you can. The solution—if there is one—must come from our women. The keynote will be patience and understanding. The cheerful smile and the gentle phrase can make the difference between a sick mind and a well one.
Avoid Superstition
There is no truth whatever to the old wives' tale that strong mental impressions on the father during pregnancy will mark the child, either for good or evil. No need, therefore, to guard the purity of your thoughts. Your opportunities to mold your children's characters will be legion, but they will come later, as we will see.
Don't Believe Delivery Dates
Your obstetrician will give your wife a date on which the baby is to arrive. This means absolutely nothing. You can forecast the date of arrival just as accurately with an ouija board or the Farmer's Almanac. Try to outguess the stork. It will be a pleasant game that both you and your wife can play.
