This question is more for the females but any guys who think they might have an anwser...be my guest? My lady has been feeling stressed ,and don't get me wrong, I usually can lift up her day. But now that shes pregnant, she's more sensitive and emotional. Any tips on how I could make her feel better?

What an awesome daddy to be you are!! You can do alot of things to make her feel better. Ask her what she would like. Buy her something special. Tell her you love her and you think she is beautiful. Maybe you can cook her a meal, or take her out somewhere nice...there are so many things you can do....
Also back and feet rubs feel wonderful when you are preggo!

You've got some great answers here already, but one thing that always makes ME feel good is getting out to nature. We have been wanting to get away the past few weekends to this place we go to, it's like a 2 hr drive. We haven't because something always comes up. But it's great, we are up on the mountains and it's fresh and not city-crowded. It is sooooo relaxing, I can almost smell the freshness. But then again, depending on how far along your girl is she may not want to travel too much.
Another thing that makes me feel good is being around my family. I know, some people get more stressed with their families, but mine's pretty cool (most of the time). My nieces and nephew are great, they are always making us laugh. I've been very Mommy-needy so I've been spending allot of time at my Moms.
And if YOU start stressing about the stressing, then just ask her. "Honey if there were anything in the world that I could do for you besides buying you a brand new car, diamond ring or trip to Paris, what would it be?" ;)
p.s. Will you train my boyfriend? You're a sweetheart!

Great ideas from everyone so far.. I would like to add one additional thing...try not to take what she's going through personally. Hormones are a girl's worst enemy and causes all sorts of drama that she doesn't want to even go through and it's out of her hands. Be available for her and best of all let her cry on your shoulder if thats what she needs.
I went through a period of about 3 days where I would start crying for absolutely no reason at all and couldn't stop crying. It's all hormones...LOL found out a few weeks later I'm having a girl this time around which explains why I am having severe mood swings worse then I ever had when pregnant with my son.
Love her and realize in another year this will all be in the past and she will likely only remember how loving and supportive you were instead of how miserable she is feeling right now.

Whenever I've had a rough day my honey always makes me a cup of cocoa (or hot tea, whichever you think she'd prefer), gets me a nice cozy blanket and I put my feet up and he gives me the worlds best foot massage...make sure and rub her ankles too they hurt a lot during pregnancy. Talk about the baby, things you can't wait for. Keep it all positive and worry free things...like how you can't wait to see the baby's face for the first time and how you can't wait for the first smile. After she's nice and relaxed pop a movie in for her and do whatever house work is needing to be done around the house. Clean up the kitchen, start laundry, make the bed (getting into a nice made up bed every night is really nice) and possibly start dinner. Pregnant women are always feeling exhausted and overworked so just doing those things for her she will love you!! ;) more than she already does. Congrats on the baby and I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes great for you two!

She is probably feeling very tired so cooking dinner and cleaning up for her is always nice. Run a bath for her (but not too hot) and light some candles in the bath room, get her favourite book and let her soak for a while. When she comes out have her pj's ready for her. Talk to her about the baby too... it always makes me feel better when I hear how excited my hubby is to be having a baby. the key, you can't just do this once. You need to get into a regular pattern of allowing her extra time off to chill or go to bed early.

Just let her know you are there. Hug her, kiss her, rub her feet or back, run a warm not hot bath for her. Her emotions are going crazy, don't let it bring you down. Be there for her and this too will pass. : ) I'm glad you want to make her feel better. The father of my unborn child was pretty rotten about the changes I was going through and how tired I was all the time. We are no longer together now.
good luck!

Try being more attentive to her needs.Help more around the home.Listen to her.Give her massages when she is stressed out.Give her quiet time at home,play soft music,cook some nice meals for her.Basically pamper her as she is the mother of your child to be.Show her how much she means to you.Go for walks together hand in hand.Window shop for baby things.Being pregnant is a big change in a woman believe me!Be ready for anything but let her know you love her unconditionally.

Tell her to get dressed up and put on some make up and that you are taking her out to dinner..
go to a cozy restaurant and have dinner, then take her out to a movie...or go shopping for some baby things..
if all else fails just cuddle up to her and list a hundred reason why you love her..or come up with some really good ways to say how much you love her ..things that are sentimental will cheer her up :P
Good luck

I love it when my husband gives me a hug and rubs my shoulders a bit it is also nice when he does the little things like the dishes or a load of laundry without my asking. I know that the small things add up and as tired as I am every little bit helps....try a foot rub too

You sound like a really sensitive partner! Foot rubs, her favorite ice cream, doing some household chore that she usually hates, send her flowers, treat her like a goddess :)
