Read pregnancy books. One that I had that had tips for dads is "Your Pregnancy week by week" It is written by an OB/GYN. Help out around the house, like lifting anything heavy. Even laundry baskets can be too heavy somtimes. Rub her feet, take her out for or cook her a romantic dinner. Give her foot and leg rubs...it's good for blood flow. Don't take any outbursts personally. Hormones can really be nasty. Just be there to listen and let her vent.

Patience is very important!! She will not be herself at times, and you have to remember not to take things she says and does personally. Make sure she eats regularly, which will probably mean that you will have to make and bring the food to her in early pregnancy if she is feeling ill. Do some extra housework. Take over the cooking for a while (if she is the regular cook), if she is having "morning" (all day) sickness. Give her massages. Listen to her concerns about the pregnancy. Go on walks with her. Go to the doctor's appointments with her. Bring her home a little gift (chocolate, flowers, a "just because" card) once in a while. Tell her often how beautiful/sexy she is (pregnant women tend to get self conscious when they are getting bigger in the belly but not really looking pregnant yet). Don't say "we're pregnant" unless she wants you to - some women (like me) really really hate that (though some like it).

make her feel like a queen, but every woman is different, just ask her, and give everything she wants. don't get me wrong, you have to pull some weight by knowing what could be harmful to a pregnant woman and her fetus. search the internet, for "things to avoid while pregnant" such as, she can't eat certain things, NO RAW FOOD, and she can't lift much of anything. there are many percautions. just show you've taken the time to research but also ask her what makes her feel comfortable! congrats and good luck!

Go buy her a Boppy pillow to sleep with and help with the housework. Cook a meal, do a load of laundry, do any heavy lifting (you'd be amazed how heavy a full laundry basket is to a pregnant woman). If you are on the road and she has to pee, find her a McDonald's to pee at. If she has cravings go get her what she's craving. Don't expect sex if she doesn't want it, and don't make her feel guilty about it. Cuddle her and love her.

Aww good for you for being so sensitive to this!!!
Ignore the previous idiot guy's comment!
Pregnant woman can be off the charts horny due to hormones!
And nothing is sexier than a caring, attentive spouse.
Keep telling her she's beautiful (weight gain might make her feel depressed & sad), don't go out & party/drink/dance alot if that's something she used to enjoy(it's like rubbing it in her face), don't cook food that makes her gag, give massages for insomnia/tension(a common symptom), leave crackers/water by her nightstand for morning sickness, listen to her when she expresses worries about being a good enough mom. Just being there & having an open ear is powerful. :)
PS- Don't take mood swings personal!

Just be there for her. Offer to rub her feet, do some extra housework and make her pregancy less stressful. Making a baby is a lot of hardwork. She will be very sensitive so watch what you say and keep reminding her she is beautiful especially with a baby growing inside of her.

Go buy a book for soon to be dads. Go to any major bookstore and ask for it! Always be nice and gentle. Do the housework, do anything she ask! When she gets sick offer to get her a cool rag for her head! NEVER say anything about any weight gain!! Remind her she is gorgeous and that you are so happy she is carrying your baby!! Seriously, read some bboks, know what is going on inside her!! Good luck!!

pregnancy or birth? sorry the way it sounds it sounds like you want to make her labor go good. but anyways. to make pregnancy comfortable just try to be there for her. if she ask for help, help her. if she needs something get it for her unless she doesnt want you to. just stuff like that especially towards the end. it is alot harder to get around when you are so close to delivery. i cant bend down to pick something up off the floor, walking up and down stairs are killing me. but everyone is different too. good luck.

Buy her chocolate, do the dishes and invest in some body oil for massages.
NEVER EVER EVER say anything like "I know its just your hormones".
Tell her she's a beautiful goddess, and treat her like it.
being pregnant is like having PMS the flu and an alien invasion in your body all at once. its not fun, it hurts, and it lasts for what seems like forever.
