All of the points discussed by Cameron Phillips directed at soon-to-be Dad’s on how to support your partner through pregnancy are true if you are a woman (or woman identified person). Though harder to admit as a lesbian, even the ‘embrace your inner cave man’ resonated with me. I remember many times feeling and behaving in a very protective way around my partner while she was pregnant.

So, all of you ladies who love ladies who are starting families, the advice to the Dad’s should be taken to heart as well.

I would like to add a few additional points of advice on how to support your pregnant partner, relevant to both men and women.
