How to live with a pregnant wife?

Answer 1

If you're partner who's pregnant seems to be complaining a lot, it's a common issue with couples going through a pregnancy together.

A pregnancy can take quite a toll on a woman's body, such as hormones, which can cause all sorts of emotional 'up and downs'. There are cravings, and discomforts in many parts of a pregnant woman's body.

Sometimes, the communication a couple once might have had, seems more complicated during a pregnancy. Not only due to emotional issues, but if this is her first pregnancy, she doesn't always understand what is going on with her body herself in order to verbally share it with her partner.

The best thing for the partner to do is be involved in as many aspects of the pregnancy as possible. The couple should talk to the doctor together, and ask questions individually, as well as a couple. There are many books about pregnancy geared towards to the woman, that are also great for her partner to read as well.

Taking the extra time to comfort, and sometimes simply appease a pregnant partner can make all the difference. Once the baby arrives, her body will take some time to heal and get back to itself, but it will get there.
