Many a times I get patients who complain about their husband being very indifferent towards them during pregnancy . So i decided this little piece to be dedicated to the" papa to be".
I know that you are also apprehensive and probably has lots of queries and insecurities yourself,or may be you yourself do not know what you can do for your girl. but plz consider the fact that your girl is actually the one carrying the baby so give priorities to her problems first.If you want to talk to her about anything which is bothering you plz be very straight forward and talk to her.Hiding from problems will not lead you anywhere.instead of running to garage or your friends place be brave and face your problems and insecurities head on.
It really does not matter whether your wife is pregnant for the first time or the 4th, every pregnancy is different from the other so do not think that if your girl is pregnant before she will not need the emotional and physical support this time.
when a woman is pregnant there are lots of changes that takes place in her body.
During 1st 3 months.:
This is usually the most trying time as her body is experiencing the changes for the first time.she is most of the time not feeling well and might have lost appetite or worst may be vomiting also , so please do not expect her to be in best of her mood all the time.try to be sympathetic to your girl and be less demanding both physically and emotionally.
You may also be bombarded with lots of baby talk as your girl might be only interested in talking about her new guest in life.It really does not signifies that she is going to love you less .remember the new person is also a part of you.Try to get involved with her during baby talk take interest in choosing the color of nursery or choosing your baby"s name.
During 4th month onwards:
Her appetite will grow so do not be annoyed if you find her in the kitchen at 2am gorging on something.Instead you can help her by preparing a meal of her taste.Remember that now she has to eat for 2 person.This is also the time when your lady will start putting on weight and her tummy might just start to show its baby bulge. her clothes will start to get tight so take her out shopping and gift the mumma to be something nice and cozy to wear.Do not forget to complement on her look. If you look closely enough you will actually notice that your girl has a radiant glow of motherhood that really make her look prettier than before.So do not hold your self back.Go ahead and complement on her look.It is also the time when she might crave for the wrong food at the wrong time.It may not be possible to fulfill all the time but try to give her whenever possible.
From 7th month onward
Her heart is working twice the amount it worked before .so help her in her house hold chores as she might be out of breath sometime.Also later she may start to waddle so be cautious where you leave your shoes as she might trip over.also try to remove the slippery floor whenever possible.Also go through books and web and talk to her doctor regarding the onset of labor pain and how you can know that its time to go to Hospital.
At the time of delivery
When you are with your girl at the delivery room . you must know that she is going through immense pain. She needs all the love and support she can get from you.talk to her ,soothe her, tell her she is doing great.
Is having sex ok during pregnancy ?
We do not forbid sex during pregnancy.but ask for a little precaution in the initial 3 months and last 6 weeks.Remember that your lady is running 4 times the hormones she usually has before.so plz bear with her if she does not feel or have the right mood for it.Or it might be the other way round.You may not like to have sex with a pregnant woman where as your lady might be fully charged. As i have already stated there is no harm if you avoid the periods i already stated.
So i think i have said enough so go on support each other while preparing for the arrival of your little angel and best of luck
