In todays episode, Dave and John jump into their family experiences of second and third trimester. They chat about scans, plans, testing and nesting and all the miscellaneous purchases they made before the kids arrived.

The Dads share hacks like the nappy trolley (with links below), styling your beard to shape your face - which will make you look exactly like David Beckham and you will be as rich as him. All the while Dave suggests to train your children to play the sport you like, and then teach them a pub game so they're occupied while you drink 46 schooners.

Runsheet:

• Trimester 1 - what we missed last week:
  • When to share pregnancy news and with who
  • 12 week scan - 12-13 weeks. Looking to see if baby is developing as expected.
• Second Trimester
  • 20 week scan. Again looking to see if baby is developing as expected. This is the scan where the sonographer can tell you the gender.
• Should you attend appointments with your partner
• Tests - NIPT (NIPT done in trimester 1) looking for hereditary diseases
  • Non-invasive prenatal testing - looking at chromosomal disorders eg. down syndrome. Can also determine babies gender earlier than 20 week scan
  • Costs associated with testing
• Pregnancy insomnia
• Now is the time to buy everything - generally your partner is feeling good in second trimester (morning sickness is hopefully gone).
  • What should and shouldn't you spend money on in preparation for babies arrival

• Third Trimester
  • Johns partner, Renee described it as ‘ fucking sucks’ and said she was:
    • Fat
    • Couldn't breath
    • Couldn't get out of bed
    • Felt like a burden
  • Prep for labour
    • Refer to first poddy
• Nesting
  • Kitting out babies room
  • What does your wife actually need
  • Making a breastfeeding/nappy trolley

Dad hacks!

• Learn your face shape and cut your hair and beard to match
• Getting your kid into the sports you enjoy, like golf, and darts so they are kept busy while you delete a few froths in the pub
