I am glad that you are being light hearted about this...I was crazy when i was pregnant...i think they call it pregnancy brain..emotional, irrational at times and very forgetful!! My husband made it through and I am sure that you will to and at the end you will have a beautiful baby and you will forgive her completely once you see what she is going through to have your baby!!! Good luck and God Bless

Get used to it. That over-emotional, cry-all-the-time woman will likely be there throughout the entire pregnancy. Pregnancy does a real number on us females. Imagine if you will that you where forced to take extra hormone drugs for the next nine months and you will have an idea of what your fiance is going through. But that emotional imbalance must be an important part of baby-making because it happens to every one of us women once we get pregnant. And often we get to experience the post-partum depression experience as all those hormones finally start leaving our body. Add to the fact that your mate will probably feel like she is missing half her memory after the baby is born, and you will start to understand why some women claim that having children causes us to loose our minds!
Just be happy that you are not the one having to go through all of that. And remember to be there for your future wife. What is even harder than having a baby and going through that physical/emotional roller-coaster for almost a year is doing it all alone. It is so very important to have someone there to cry on his or her shoulder or to rush out and buy chocolate-chip pizza and pickle-flavored ice cream at 3 in the morning! And just think, at the end of this trying period of time, you have the wonderful adventure of raising a child with your wife to look forward to! And having a child really does change everything about your priorities in life...

This is called hormone overload. She's still in there trying to find herself but who she once was is on a nine month vacation. Hang in there! My son is going through the same thing right now with his wife. He's a medical professional and knows all the reasons for it but told me last weekend that if she tells people he ran away, dig up the back yard. Thinking back to that time in my life, I was incredibly tired and scared. It's so hard not to dread labor and delivery and to worry about the baby being ok as in ten fingers and toes. It's also hard to not be scared by the changes in your looks. At this point in time, I'd pretty much agree with her about everything and if she is crying about something, just hold her and don't offer her ten solutions about how it can be fixed. Men are natural fixers and women just want you to pat them and tell them you understand and that you love them. This too will pass. It's a lot of work to grow a baby and everything it needs is being taken from her body. You can be preparing yourself mentally for how much she is going to hate you during labor. This will be all your fault, the result of that time when she was unwilling and you forced her to have sex. Never mind that she was obsessed with the idea of having a baby. LOL Fatherhood is not for wimps. Good Luck and God bless

Ah, poor you. You sound like my bf. Except he just thought I was being a cow for the sake of it. At least you understand why her mind has temporarily been taken over by a raving, mad lunatic! Don't worry, you will have to deal with it for a while. Just be supportive and try not to pee her off (hard at this time I know). And whatever you say, make sure it isn't along the lines of, its just your hormones! Most women do not appreciate this, even though they know it is true! Good luck!

I think all these answers are great ones, but you need to be cautious....does she have any history of depression? Her mood swings now could be a pre-quel to serious post-partum depression. I imagine she is anxious and talking to her reasonably doesn't really get you anywhere. For the duration of the pregnancy, try every day to do at least one nice thing for her. Forget yourself right now and be there in every way possible (physically, emotionally, even sexually - or non-sexually.) And as my mother-in-law always tells me: This too shall pass.

When you are pregnant and have to deal with everything like weight gain, emotional stress, hormone changes, going through the labor, giving birth - loads of pain let me tell you, let her shove an orange up your thing then you may slowly push it out oh but you have to wait up to 48 hours, not to mention what it does to our bodies after wards! Then you may complain about her until then shut up and do what she asks you to do or just sit there and politely nod your freaking head!

Her brain will be returned after the baby is born. Until then, hang on and enjoy the ride.
