| Useuful information for new dad's and dads-to-be on pampering your partner during pregnancy and how to spoil her after the birth.Discuss tips for dad's to be on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.Pamper your partner during pregnancy- Buy the biggest box of her favourite chocolates you can find. - Not only will this be a great excuse for her to pig out but it will also show her that you find her expanding shape sexy and so give her a crucial confidence boost when she feels ungainly and distinctly unsexy.
- Buy her flowers - Every woman loves to receive flowers, no matter how big or small the bouquet. Sending her a beautiful bouquet when she least expects it will make her fed really special and will show her that you love her and are thinking of her.
- Take over the housework - Your partner has been through a lot lately what with nine months of pregnancy, going through the stress of labour and now looking after a new baby. She's bound to feeling pretty tired and worn out so help out with the cooking, cleaning and shopping will take some of the strain off her.
- A footspa - Carrying all that extra weight around during pregnancy can lead to red, swollen and sore feet so why not "splash out" on a soothing and relaxing footspa for your loved one? For extra points, buy one with a whirlpool mechanism - she'll love you for it!
- And finally - tell her you love her! - This one's completely free but will undoubtedly be the one gift she will value most, especially if she's feeling exhausted/fat/dowdy or her pregnancy hormones are going haywire. A little bit reassurance can go a long way to making your partner feel as special as you know she is.
How to spoil her after the birth- Jewellery - A beautiful eternity ring is a traditional way to mark the occasion of your baby's birth but it's up to you what you choose, ring, necklace, bracelet, brooch. Whatever you buy it will be special to your partner because of its link to your new baby.
- A pampering session at the local health spa - Being pregnant can be a tiring business so treat her to a beauty day filled with manicures, massages, facials. Or if a day at the spa would stretch your finances too far why not buy her a selection of fragranced bath products, bubble bath, shower gel, conditioning treatment, bath balls, body lotion, body spray... there's loads to choose from. Placing them in a gorgeous gift bag or box will make your present look extra special.
- A special meal together followed by a trip to the cinema or theatre - Surprise your partner by arranging a babysitter then whisking her off for a romantic meal and night out seeing her favourite film or show. Spending time together without your little one will help to remind you that you're a couple in your own right, not just Mum and Dad.
- Clothes, clothes, clothes! - After months of wearing maternity clothes, every new mum would love some trendy new clothes, so get some gift vouchers for her favourite shops and arrange for her to go shopping with her friends for the day, leaving baby at home with you.
- A weekend in Paris - What better way to celebrate your good news than to whisk your partner away to one of the most romantic cities in the world? If this is outside your budget, a weekend away in a cosy cottage together can be just as romantic.
