She needs to help yes just like I help. I believe in 50-50 responsibility I don't believe a man "takes care of his wife" I don't believe in the patriarchal structures of marriage as practiced in many muslim countries. I believe in a woman's independence not only at home but in the working world. I will be just as helpful around the house and at work as she is. I will not allow the load to shift one way or the other. I strictly believe in 50-50 share the load mentality.

Well, there are men who psychologically share effects of birth with their spouses such as (morning sickness etc). Mentally not physically I will share in the responsibility of going through the pregnancy because I want to not because its a "male chore." i think its important that to understood motherhood the father need to be there with his wife every step of the way to ensure the path to life for the child to be is righteous and not hindered. So, to answer your question yes.
