Hou can you as a dad help in the early stages of pregnancy?

Answer 1

Be really supportive. At this point, your wife is probably going to feel pretty nauseated as well as terrified. Try to keep her stress level low. Offer to rub her feet or her back. Get her a cold rag when she starts to feel sick and put it on the back of her neck. She is probably going to get tired easier than before so offer to help her out around the house when she starts to slow down. Show your commitment and actually read the baby-books if she asks or you do the research if there is something y'all are curious about the pregnancy. You just need to show her that you are there 100%. It will really mean a lot to her. You should also remember that the amount of hormonal changes she is going though is unbelievable so know that at times she will be very irritable and at other times she will just want to be intimate with you (and not necessarily sex though). If the two of you get into an argument, just really watch your words. Make sure you don't say anything that you won't really mean because as I said before, her hormones and emotions are going to be strung really thin.
