    Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:
    While his partner is pregnant, a man can take on these responsibilities to prepare for the addition to the family:
    1. Deal with the wheels: if you drive a pick-up or subcompact, you should upgrade to a 4-door car since newborns can't ride in the front seat; also, make sure you have a safety-approved infant car seat prior to delivery.
    2. If you haven't already, contact a lawyer and write wills and health proxies; also, if appropriate, establish trusts.
    3. If you do not already carry life insurance, consider purchasing a policy.
