A DAD-TO-BE has taken to TikTok to share the five dos and don’ts for when your other half is expecting – and people are saying he’s got it spot on.
Rico James, known online as @ricodickard, regularly shares life updates and parenting tips with his 15,000 followers.
In a new video, he shares his top tips for those whose other half is expecting – and that includes never eating your pregnant partner’s snacks.
He said: “These are the five dos and don’ts of being a baby daddy during pregnancy.
“Number one, do. If she wants chilli cheese fries, you drop everything and you go get her chilli cheese fries.
“Don’t remind her to breathe as you watch her send forkful after forkful into her mouth.”
