Go for a long walk.....together of course. She can't help her attitude right now, so don't take it personal, just try to bear with her, and be supportive even though she probably just finished calling you a f....shi...y as...hole $&^%*&()*&^^$#$#@$%$&^%*&&^%&^%*&^(*&&^*(&*&*&^.........she doesn't mean it! It will probably even continue thru the birthing....but it will be over very soon! And then she will need your shoulder to cry on....

Good for you for being so concerned about your wife, you sound like a great husband. I'm sure you realize the cussing is not about you, or anything you've done, but rather the immense hormonal changes that her body is going through, which can really cause a lot of emotional chaos.

To make it easier for her, try your best to anticipate her needs. Have her favourite foods on hand, clean the house every so often so that she doesn't have to do it (that's the best gift EVER!). Do it when she least expects it and don't keep on harping about how you cleaned the house for her afterwards! :) Give her nice neck, back or foot massages. Bring her flowers for no reason. Tell her how beautiful she is and make sure she feels like you are still attracted to her. Tell her how much you appreciate her and understand that she is going through a difficult and scary time, wondering how the birth will go, if the child will be healthy, how life will change after baby arrives.

I am 37 weeks pregnant. Does she work? Is this your first child? I would say be patient, be considerate, give her massages, do the cooking and cleaning because it is hard to be carrying an extra 30 lbs on your back. Give her anything she ask for no matter how absurd. I stopped cussing my husband out when I was about 32 weeks because he did everything I asked for. Make her feel loved, let her know she's beautiful, and do not lie. If you do all that and maybe more, that one month will go by quicker than you can blink your eye and then you won't know what hit you when you see your baby. It's going to be wonderful. This is my second pregnancy, so I know. Good luck and congratulations.

If you had a parasite(just using for comparison) that was almost 2 feet long, and weighed 7-8 lbs, living in your intestines, moving, squirming, and kicking you repeatedly, every day, you would be cranky, too. Not to mention she is probably dreading childbirth. Be kind to her, tell her that even though you can't possibly imagine what it would be like to be in her shoes right now, you understand why she is sometimes unhappy. Love her. Right now she needs to be resting for birthday. It is a lot of hard work, and takes a LOT of energy, so start waiting on her some. She'll appreciate it and may not be so cranky. Good luck with the little one!
P.S. don't think the hormone thing is over the minute she spits the kid out. It lasts for months to come. Have fun!

Stop asking what you can do to help and just pitch in.

Take the other kids out for a walk and leave her alone for at least 90 minutes.

Or, if you don't have other kids, make dinner, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen afterward. At 36 weeks she probably isn't sleeping very well and she won't get much sleep once the baby arrives, so make sure she rests whenever and however she can now!

Be patient, man, there's barely four weeks of this left. During pregnancy, a woman's hormones are basically in control of her emotions, and she is likely to be a real witch one moment and the sweetest, loving-est, most dependent critter in your life the next. Realize and accept that she's really, really ready for this pregnancy to end, it's hot out and can be miserably uncomfortable for a woman at that stage of her life, and you, buster, are the reason she feels this way - so when she's cranky, you're gonna catch the blame! Yo - it just happens! Be there for her and don't be all torqued when she hollers. She's gonna need a patient and caring partner when that kid comes home with her and it turns out that parenthood is a LOT more demanding than either of you ever dreamed. Hint: wanna survive parenthood, learn to change a diaper!

Don't take it personally first. My man and I have five kids. His favorite saying was if a feather fell from the sky and didn't land just right I would B****!! Between the hormones and stress of thinking of labor is enough to make anyone Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde. I know that what helped me was my man giving me a hug and telling me it's going to be OK we are almost there. For me it was the little things that he did that made it easier. I am not even going to lie I was a atomic B**** with my twins but after everything was over I loved him even more for enduring with love my hormone enraged wrath. I wish you both the best!!

Honey She is 36 weeks....NOTHING you can do will make her stop...LOL I have three kids and my husband was an angel during all three pregnancies. I was still miserable and somehow always found a way to make him feel that way too. Try doing something for her like taking her to a spa that specializes in mom to be massages. Or get her a pedicure. Buy her a nice dinner. Or do something sweet like make sure she has a special outfit to go home from the hospital in (make sure it is a post pregnancy outfit otherwise it won't fit and you will certainly frustrate her!) Good luck though, and Congrats!

There's a lot of changes a woman's body goes through in order to carry a baby and give birth to it. Just be understanding that she's probably very uncomfortable and irritable because of it. I would suggest that you try to give her what she wants and stay out of the "line of fire" when you can. The "cussing" should go away after the baby is born. Remember, you got to get past the delivery. Oh, foot massages and back massages always seem to help. It gains points for you. (smile)

Hon, you're just going to have to get used to the cursing for nothing. It's a hormone thing. It's like a year of PMS that gets worse as time goes on. I would just apologize, whether or not you mean it or did anything, and ask how to help. Offer to do more of the chores around the house or just do it, like the dishes or the laundry, of course you'll need to be ready for her to cry over that. Offer to rub her feet at night; I wish DH would have done that for me, and maybe her back because that really hurts. It's good that you want to make her more comfortable.

Just do whatever she asks of you with a smile & take heart - you only have a couple of weeks before the baby is born. Then she'll start crying at the drop of a hat from the post partum depression. So, don't worry - the "cussing" is almost over!!!
