Mother Responsibilities It is very important that the mother stays healthy by maintaining a well-balanced diet and exercising. The mother must also try their best to remain stress-free during pregnancy. Too much stress can cause developmental issues to the unborn baby. Father Responsibilities The father's role in a pregnancy is also very important. Nurturing and caring for their partner is a way to express their emotional investment. This can also help the mother remain stress-free. The father should encourage the mother to maintain a healthy diet, as well as keep a healthy diet of their own.
