At times, pushing through trimester 1 was like navigating a narrow, windy lane in a heavy mist; unable to move backwards, unable to see what was just around the corner as we inched forward.Frequently, I felt helpless. Utterly useless. There I was, a near 50-year-old geriatric father-to-be, watching and witnessing his wife going through major hormonal, physical and mental changes; unable to truly empathise with or genuinely understand what she was experiencing.
