Any tips for Co-parenting?

Just that really.

Our baby is due very soon. We were never really together in the first place. We are both adamant that we will both be fully involved with our baby from day one though.

Does anyone have any advice for us? First child for us both. We are currently both single. Early thirties, professional.

Many thanks!

Yes i can help with this. It sounds exactly like my situation 12 years ago except i was late 20s.

It's been great and i wouldn't change a thing. Dd lives with me and has one night a week at her dad's. He now has a partner and family who i get on well with.

Lots of people comment on how it's been good for Dd to have us as friends rather than exes.

We have both had to make compromises along the way and I'm very careful to make sure money isn't an issue.

Glad it has worked for you all. :) How do you make sure money is not an issue though?
