if my wife is pregnant how can i take care of her?

Answer 1

Just be patient with her and understand that she is going to go through a lot of mood swings. Just shower her with love when she needs it. It will be hard to read her because one minute she will want you and the next she won't. Constantly remind her of her beauty in and out. Make sure she isn't stressed about anything. Just keep her happy.

Answer 2

That is the best question I have ever heard a guy ask on this site. Just remember that she will be tired and possibly have stomach cramps and maybe some sickness. Helping clean around the house is a great way because pregnant gals should be around chemicals or fumes. Also making dinner is a big help. I know I am so tired when I get home all I want to do is sit and nap. Sounds like you will be a good daddy.

Answer 3

Congrads. First and foremost, make sure she finds an OB doctor and she attends all of her prenatal appointments. See that she takes her prenatal pills and eats healthy. Of course she can splurge because she will have cravings, so be prepared for that. Be understanding with her. Her hormones will be out of whack and she may be emotional for no reason at all. Be careful of calling her names or joking about her shape or the weight she will gain, even jokingly. Sensitive is her middle name. Other than that , be proactive in the whole process. This is a great time. Enjoy thinking about the sex of the child and how it will look. Pick out baby clothes and toss names back and forth. My wife and I went to Lamaz class. ( My idea). I loved it because we got to bond and spend time together as well as with other couples who were expecting. We had a great time. Don't expect her to do all the breathing techniques that you learn there. Her mind will be way beyond that when the time comes. Decide on the hospital and type of birth she will give. Your natural instinct will take over so don't worry about not being enough. Every man goes through that. Welcome to Fatherhood.

Answer 4

There are many things you can do to take care of her while she's pregnant. Above all things, be compassionate, and lead by example. Be understanding that she may be on an emotional roller coaster. Don't pig out and eat like crazy, when you know she shouldn't be doing it either. She needs to eat healthy, not twice as much. Eating for two does not mean quantity. She can easily get her 300 extra calories from an extra glass of milk a day.

Your wife and you should sign up for this site. It's simple. You put in your expected due date and whatever information and every week it reminds you how many weeks your wifes pregnancy is, what she may be feeling, how the baby's growing, what signs to look out for that could indicate a problem, and amongst many other things it provides a picture which shows you an illistration of your baby's growth. It provides SO much useful information and it even has a section for Fathers to be. It'll be really useful for the both of you and will help her understand what she's going through, and help you understand your role as a father to be, and how you can properly care for her. I'd definitely check it out.

about 8 months ago my boyfriend was on yahoo questions asking the same thing. =) Now he can actually offer advice. His input is to lighten her work load, don't smoke, drink, be understanding above all things and care for her, even if it is hard sometimes. (giving massages, cutting her toe nails when she can't see them properly or get comfortable enough to do it) little things like that. <---and I never had to ask him to do any of that for me he began to understand.

Just wait until you get to the baby kicking stage where you can feel it. It still freaks my fiance out to see her pushing my stomach out every which way, but it's a beautiful thing!

Congratulations on the pregnancy! God bless your new family =). Take care

Answer 5

Be prepared for her mood swings, and just remember she will hate the way she is feeling (mood swings) like most people we sometimes cant shake off a bad mood, well she will be emotional, crying all the time, irrational. You have to be patient with her, and tell her you love her all the time and she will feel loads better if she knows you are taking a real interest in her and your unborn child, read some pregnancy books so your up to date with the progress of your developing baby, She will love this kind of interest. You sound like a lovely man and she is lucky to have you. Good luck. Forgot to mention the mood swings are usually only in the first 3 months.

Answer 6

i wish my husband had asked this question!!!!

well just be patient and don't stress when you have to stop the car every 10 minutes for a bathroom break.understand the stress and fatigue she is feeling.try to help more around the house especially in the last trimester.remember to remind her often she is still more beautiful than J-Lo to you(even when her stomach is way out there).if she doesn't feel like "it" then let her be,she might not be "in the mood" quite often.that about sums it up.just being more helpful and more understanding is really about all you can do(though we women wish it was you men who could get pregnant if you could do that she would be really happy)
i wish there were more men like you out there.

Answer 7

Help her to get enough fresh fruits and vegetables and correct nutrition. Try to help her to not smoke nor drink alcohol, and take her for regular medical check-ups. The doctor's dietitian will be able to help you. A regular exercise program will help, too. perhaps you can have a regular routine of walking, dancing or bicycling together. Do what you can to help her keep fit, active and happy.

Answer 8

Of course you can and you should.
Support her and just be with her.
Tell her how happy you are that she's pregnant.
Tell her you love her and show her that you love her through actions.

Congrats!!
