I wouldn’t worry too much - main quality required is willingness to learn on the job, keep odd hours, and support the team to the best of your ability, regardless of the task at hand.

We just had our first a month ago, I did not do any prep in terms baby knowledge or what to expect. I watched a couple videos on how to change diapers, holding a baby etc., I learned on the job and doing more than fine.

I knew I’d be freaking out if I was overprepared and did not do things by the book. Enjoy the experience, it is truly magical. I think you need to be more prepared on caring for your SO. This is something I was very keen on.

Just make sure they eat, sleep and poop. That’s all for the first 3 months.

Thank you all! You have no idea how much I appreciate the advice and just the support.

Key notes. Support the head/neck. Buy big packs of good quality diapers and wipes. Get a co-sleeper. You don't need a change table, just use a bed. Zip up clothes only, never get the buttons. Trust the mothers instincts. Everyone needs to wash their hands a lot.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments
