For example, if you think I didn’t have issues having sex knowing our little baby was inside my wife, then you think way too highly of me. Every guy thinks about it. What if I hurt the baby if I push too hard? Just the thought of knowing there’s a baby in there isn’t sexy either. And that’s okay! All of the feelings and emotions and fear that come up for men during pregnancies and birth are okay and deserve to be expressed and normalized. The key becomes finding a safe place to express them, and that safe place should start with anyone BUT our partner.
