Especially important to show you care about the expectant parent and aren't just after the baby. Be sure you're genuine in your caring, and if you're having trouble finding empathy do some serious reading to engage your heart. One more suggestion if you are meeting in person: bring a small photo album with some special pictures from your life and be sure to ask the expectant parent to do the same. This shows respect for both sides. I agree with everything you said. Especially important to show you care about the expectant parent and aren’t just after the baby.
