Anapita masiku omwe abambo am'tsogolo adadikirira mumsewu akuyendetsa mnzawoyo kumoyo. Masiku ano, ambiri a iwo akutenga nawo mbali pa nthawi yonse ya mimba. Koma pa D-Day, nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kuti apeze ndipo, koposa zonse, kutenga malo awo.

Pamene kutsekeka kulengeza kuyambika kwa ntchito kumachitika, nkhawa yaikulu ya amayi oyembekezera mwina sakufika pa nthawi yoyembekezera, kapena mulimonsemo kuti sangathe kuchenjeza wokondedwa wawo. Chinthu chofunika kwambiri pamene mawuwa akuyandikira ndi kukhala ofikirika kosatha.

Kulembetsa kuchipinda cha amayi oyembekezera kudachitika miyezi ingapo m'mbuyomo, chomwe chatsala ndikungopereka khadi lofunikira komanso khadi la inshuwaransi yaumoyo wa mayi woyembekezera, komanso fayilo yake yachipatala (ultrasounds, report of kukaonana ndi dokotala wogonetsa munthu wodwala matendawa…), ndipo lembani fomu. Ikhoza kuchitidwa ndi abambo amtsogolo kapena amayi amtsogolo.

Sikophweka nthawi zonse kuti abambo amtsogolo apeze malo awo panthawi yobereka. Ena amakhala opanda chochita poyang'anizana ndi zitseko zomwe zimapotoza mnzawo mu ululu nthawi yonse yobereka. Kupezeka pa nthawi yokonzekera kubadwa ndi kulera limodzi kumatha kuwathandiza kukhala opanda mphamvu, makamaka haptonomy ndi njira ya Bonapace yomwe imawaphunzitsa mosapita m'mbali momwe angathandizire wokondedwa wawo. Ena amawopa kutembenuza maso awo panthawi yothamangitsidwa. Kapena kuti gawo ili la kubereka sikuvulaza libido pambuyo pake. Ena, m'malo mwake, ali ndi ndalama zambiri moti amatha, mosadziwa, mwa kukwiyitsa mayi wamtsogolo ndi gulu la obereketsa. Chabwino, kupeŵa zokhumudwitsa, ndicho kukambitsirana pamodzi, ndi mutu wopumula, pasanapite nthawi yobereka, mmene aliyense amaonera zinthu. Monga chikumbutso, ndi munthu mmodzi yekha amene ali ndi ufulu wopita ku nthawi yobereka. Ngati abambo amtsogolo sangathe kapena sakufuna, ngati mayi wamtsogolo akufuna kuti asapite, palibe chomwe chingalepheretse ntchito imeneyi kwa wachibale wina wapamtima.

Mzamba kapena dokotala wachikazi nthawi zambiri amati bambo watsopanoyo adadula khosi lomwe limalumikizabe mayi ndi mwana wake. Chiwonetsero chosapweteka konse chomwe amuna ambiri amayamikira kufunikira kophiphiritsa. Koma ngati simukufuna kutero, musamadzikakamize. Palibe chifukwa chodziimba mlandu: mudzakhala ndi mipata ina yambiri yodzipangira nokha ndalama.

Kale, mwana ankasamba koyamba m’chipinda choberekera ndipo ntchito imeneyi nthawi zambiri inkaperekedwa kwa atate watsopanoyo pamene wakhandayo akupumula ndi kulandira chisamaliro chothekera. Koma nthawi zambiri amadikirira maola 24 kapena 48 kuti asambe mwana. Motero amapindula pang'ono ndi ubwino wotetezera wa vernix, chinthu choyera ndi chamafuta chomwe chinaphimba khungu lake mbali yabwino ya mimba. Zimakhalabe kwa bambo, ngati akufuna, ntchito yovala mwana wake wakhanda, nthawi zambiri amatsogoleredwa ndi wothandizira ana. M'mbuyomu, amathanso kupatsidwa mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito khungu ndi khungu ndi mwana, mwachitsanzo ngati mayi ake apanga opaleshoni.
