Her Emotions:

Not only do you communicate with your baby, but now dad's voice is enough to wake him up too.  This is a time when the communication between all three of you is most beautiful, you will sometimes wonder how you ever lived without such times before.

His Emotions:

Start reading up on the reality of childbirth.  It's been a long wait up to now and there is still 10 weeks to go.  You need to know what to expect, don't arrive at the delivery and be shocked by the fact that there's a lot of blood around or that the doctor decides to mutilate your partner.

Useful Information:

It's often about now that preparations for the birth begin.  Many places will invite you to visit the facilities and meet the staff so that you have a relaxed feeling about the ambience of the facility.
