Ten years after tying the knot, RRR star Ram Charan and his wife Upasana Kamineni are all set to welcome their first child. Even though they officially announced the pregnancy on December 12, 2022, the internet is abuzz again with speculations about whether the two will deliver their baby in the US or India.
That’s because Ram Charan who is currently in the US appeared on the Good Morning America show and spoke about welcoming his baby and how he is preparing to be a father. During the chat show, he spoke to ABC’s Chief Medical Correspondent, gynaecologist Dr Jannifer Ashton, who is also one of the hosts of the show.
When Dr Ashton asked him how much new dad fear he had, Ram Charan said, “All the years when we didn’t plan I was always available for my wife, but right now I am just packing and unpacking so much.”
Stating the meeting with Dr Ashton as a co-incidence, he told her he would take her number since his pregnant wife would be in the US. To which she happily replied, “I would be honoured to deliver your first baby and will be available to travel around the world with you if I have to for the delivery.”
Ram Charan did seem to have some new dad fear, especially since they are having a baby after ten years of their marriage. Deciding to have children after many years of marriage is a significant decision that requires careful consideration and planning.
While it can be an exciting time, it’s important to keep certain things in mind and prepare for the changes that come with parenthood. Here’s what to expect and how to prepare for having kids after many years of marriage.
When you have children after many years of marriage, you will likely need to make significant changes to your lifestyle. Here are some specific examples of how your lifestyle may change and how you can adjust:
One of the most critical factors to consider when having children later in life is your age and health. Women who are over 35 may face fertility issues, and the risk of pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, increases with age.
Men’s fertility also decreases as they age, making conception more difficult. It’s important to talk to your doctor about any potential risks and how to address them.
Young children require a lot of attention, and you may find that your sleep schedule is disrupted. You may need to wake up early to feed your baby or deal with night feedings. It’s important to communicate with your partner and come up with a schedule that works for both of you. You may also want to consider sleep training techniques to help your child establish a consistent sleep schedule.
You’ll need to plan your meals around your child’s schedule, especially if you’re breastfeeding. You may need to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. As for new dads, they can help in meal prepping to save time and ensure that the mum is eating healthy, nutritious meals.
It can be challenging to maintain a social life with young children, but it’s important to make time for yourself and your partner. You may need to adjust your expectations and plan social activities that are child-friendly. Consider joining parenting groups or finding a babysitter so you can have a night out.
You’ll need to be more organised and efficient with your time. You’ll need to adjust to a new routine, including feeding, bathing, and bedtime schedules. You’ll also need to make time for doctor’s appointments, play dates, and other activities.
It’s important to talk to your partner about how you’ll divide responsibilities and ensure that both partners have time for themselves. Create a schedule or routine that works for you and your child. Use a calendar or planner to keep track of appointments, playdates, and other activities.
Having a child can sometimes put a strain on your relationship with your partner, but it’s important to make time for each other. Set aside time for date nights or other activities that you enjoy doing together. Communicate openly and honestly about your needs and feelings.
Finally, it’s important to embrace both the joys and challenges of parenthood. While it can be a challenging and exhausting experience, it’s also incredibly rewarding. Watching your child grow and develop can be a beautiful and fulfilling experience. Embrace the changes that come with having children and enjoy the journey.
Adjusting to a new lifestyle can be challenging, but it’s important to remember that it’s a temporary phase. Your child will grow and change, and your lifestyle will evolve with them.
Stay positive, be patient, and take things one day at a time. With time and practice, you’ll find a rhythm that works for you and your family.
