how much do i let her get away with?

Question

My fiance and i learned we were pregnant a couple weeks ago and couldnt be happier. But she has always been a wuss and a complainer and needy. We are only about 5 weeks and the complaining and demands for late night trips to the store have sky rocketed. now i'm not stupid i know its to early (or is it?) for her to be going through all this. sho the question i pose is do i keep letting her get away with this or what and when should i be ready for the real symtptoms

Answer 1

okay well i guess your right, it's to early for that because it's to early for her to be "that" pregnant". She's only alittle pregnant right? no it's not to early, her homones begin changing with conception. keep in mind though, she's quite capable of going to the store for herself. She pregnant not broken or sick! a good reference book is "what to expect when expecting". What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding: A Reassuring Month-by-Month Guide for the Father-to-Be, Whether He Wants Advice or Not
By Thomas Hill (Andrews and McMeel, 1993)

This parody of everybody's favorite pregnancy manual is laugh-out-loud funny. Each month-by-month chapter begins with a list of "What Your Wife Will Be Complaining About" and includes a priceless section entitled "A couple of things to say to let her know you're caring, sensitive, and up on the required reading." This slim volume is a great antidote to the saccharine earnestness and concern of most pregnancy books — and you'll both find it funny. Plus, as with all the best humor, there's more than a little truth here.

Standout feature: A crib sheet of what to say — and not to say — during each stage of labor.

What could be better: Though the book is clearly the labor of an involved, witty, and real father, there's still room for the occasional mushy passing thought.

1. The Birth Partner
This book is written specifically for those helping women in labor and birth. Written by doula Penny Simkin, the tips are practical and well laid out. Simkin's style of writing is very male friendly with lots of charts and diagrams. She has a way with words when it comes to conveying emotions in a practical manner and giving specific advice for various stages of labor. Dads in my practice call this a favorite!

2. Babies and Other Hazards of Sex
Written by dad and columnist Dave Barry, this hysterical look at pregnancy will definitely give you a laugh out loud perspective on becoming a parent. While this book is not a technical book about pregnancy, it certain kept many a dads attention. I certainly chuckled through it too, like the fetal development section where it talks about how the fetus has developed the ability to shriek in air planes. It was realistic in a funny sense in preparing you for the unpredictable road to fatherhood.

3) When Men Are Pregnant
This book is written by a dad and psychologist. His approach is a friendly tone with information on the emotional adjustments of becoming a dad, from dealing with feelings about your changing relationship with the baby's mother to the feelings about your own parenting and relationships with your parents now as a grown up.

Answer 2

Yeah, I broke up with him whilst we've been 19. He became devastated. i became too youthful to realize that he became each and every thing i could ever want in a companion. He have been given the subsequent woman he dated pregnant after purely 6 months. He married her, and he or she's been making him depressing ever considering the fact that. a pair of 365 days in the past all of us started relationship returned, and this is tough, because of the fact he continues to be married. I constantly desire i might desire to have the respect of being his family contributors, yet I additionally think of that if I married him at 19, that i may be the female making him depressing top now, instead of the female who makes him happy.
