Not sure if I have this correct but it appears to me that usually the men are not really engaged much in the pregnancy or bith in Africa (sorry I know Africa is a big place so I am just generalising) I stayed in Nigeria for a while and it appeared to me this way and that the mothers or MIL were more involved. As you know here usually the partners/husbands go in to the birth and go to the scans etc, would you expect your DH/DP to do this or not?
Do you think they are as supportive of the pregnancy, helping out etc?
If not who would you expect some support from at the birth?
