Ask her questions about how she's feeling, maybe pay attention when she's talking about all the baby stuff that she's into right now, talk about names with her, rub her tummy, go to doctor visits and ask the doc. questions you are curious about and maybe go out and buy some baby stuff on your own.
You have to remember, also, that this is a VERY HORMONAL time for your wife. Something that before her pregnancy would not have seemed that important is now a very big deal. I'm sure you've seen that anything can set her off in one way or the other. Don't worry, the emotion rollercoaster will end. Just remember that she is preparing to bring a baby in the world, and that is something that will change both your lives forever. You just got to let her know that you love the idea of your family growing and getting better, and that you love her. Good Luck, and congrats on the baby!!!

Do something sweet and romantic. Can you make her a dinner, doesn't have to be fancy, maybe something she's craving. After some sinful dessert give her a little gift for the baby (as long as she's not the superstitious type . Just a little thing, like a little sleeper or something like that. If you know what the baby will be, look for a "daddy's girl/boy" t shirt. I had a great book that showed what was developing during that week in my pregnancy. Read it with her and talk to the baby even when it's the size of a peanut.
Good luck to the both of you, it's such a wonderful thing.

I would ask her that question, she can probablly answer it better than we can. Just make sure you don't ask it in a negative way, such as "Well, what do I have to do to prove I'm happy about our pregnancy?!" Do things to pamper her, massages are popular with pregnant woman, especially foot and back massages. Get involved with preparing for the baby, babyproofing the house, decorating the nursery, buying clothes, ect. Oh, and talk to the baby. Lie down next to her tummy and tell the baby every day how much you love it and how excited you are for the day it will finally be with you and you can hold it.

Listen, you have to ask yourself what she has picked up on. Women are very intuitive, but we also can worry sometimes about things we "intuit" instead of "know." In other words, if you are 100% sure you ARE happy about the baby, maybe she's picking up on YOUR worry about finances, being a good dad, and all the other very normal fears most men have at this time. Why don't you allow yourself to think about them, and then share them with your wife as you let her know you are thrilled about the baby (if you are!). After that, just SHOW her by going on appointments, listening to her 9 month-long dialogue about baby stuff, reading dad books, etc.
Best of luck to you!!

Be sympathetic, help her around the house more. Start preparing your house for the baby to come.....like fix up the room that is going to be the nursery. Show an interest in things like strollers, car seats, etc.....equipment and things YOU will have to deal with on a daily basis as well as her, after the baby arrives. It's hard being pregnant.....like having a job that requires a lot of physical activity, it wears on her body.....try to make her more comfortable!

Go out yourself as a surprise and buy some baby stuff and bring it home with some roses and plan a nice dinner for her. Do not forget to pick up a baby book that you can put pictures in of every month of her belly to be put in it. and when you come home take a picture of her. get her a card and write down just how happy you are. Write it out to MOM from DAD. and rub her belly and tell her that she looks beautiful pregnant. Plan shopping trips to go get baby stuff together and go to every doctors appointment with her no matter what!

Plan the nursery, be interested. Get a book about the development of the baby from conception to birth and actually read it. Get her flowers and take her out to celebrate. Discuss names and be really interested in the names she likes, like research what the names mean. Tell her how beautiful she is. Hug her stomach gently and talk to the baby.

Just treat her like a queen! start buying little things for the baby ,take an interest in a name for the baby. And most important of all, still cuddle, never tell her she"s fat, and run and get whatever she is craving! Lay with her and rub her belly and talk to the baby and maybe even read a book. It is never to early to start learning.

It's all about the body language. The words coming out of your mouth could be loving, but if you are not showing her a smile and genuine jubilation--she's not buying it. Women are intuitive, and the best way to get to her is tell her and show her. Embrace her and mean it.

Key word show . How about doing a few things for her like the dishes or bring her the laundry to fold while you vacuum. It's the little things that matter like doing without being asked.
