Things to expect from your wives during pregnancy and how to treat them well throughout their trimester

 

Pregnancy is preparation to welcome a new member into the family

Pregnancy is preparation to welcome a new member into the family. Pregnancy is a joyous thing to happen in a couples’ life. Pregnancy is a journey fun filled, amazing etc.

Pregnancy is not bought in the market, neither is it software downloaded from the internet. It's a seed planted by men and is germinating. There has to be a carrier of that seed while it grows, and women have been given the responsibility to carry it.

Do you know that certain things you do when your wife during pregnancy actually contributes to state of health of the mother and unborn child? Listen, it bothers me a lot when I see men showing no concern to their pregnant wives or fail to adjust to some temporary changes!!!

Women differ in body changes. Although Pregnancy makes women do certain things in common. Most women are busy vomiting, most of them sleep like water leaf, they sleep off anywhere with the slightest chance even in the kitchen.

Outlined below are what every man should expect from their pregnant wives.

• Nagging
• Requesting for things unimaginable (e.g) she wants to eat okro and bread
• Once in a while she would get so lazy to make you your meals
• Once in a while she would want to stretch her legs on your laps. Please pardon her... carrying the baby isn’t easy.
• Her needs may be unsatisfiable at times.
• The first Trimester of the journey can be so annoying. Like I say Most pregnant women often experience fever.
• They might look cranky and dry like Dustin powder.
• Pregnant women add up weight.
• At times, they appear like burnt offerings.
• Some go round with White handkerchief spitting in it.

Husbands, please tolerate this, it's beautiful afterwards. Her attitude becomes annoying, most times you can’t stand her. But I get annoyed when I see men neglect their pregnant wife. She's not an abomination, neither is she a curse. I must say, it's not an easy journey at all.

The last Trimester is when you as a husband need to be extra patient, loving, enduring and understanding.

How to treat your pregnant wife well throughout their trimester

• Always observe your wife's feet while pregnant, it swells often. Please give her a basin of water to soak her leg once in a while; it's one of the best treat women enjoy during pregnancy.
• Ask her regularly how she feels and how the baby is. She's the carrier so she feels him/her move.
• Tell her how beautiful she looks during pregnancy e.g " Honey see as the pregnancy make you fine, I will be impregnating you every month ooo" or even "is it my child that makes you fresh like this pass normal" Even if she has grown bigger in size cause of the pregnancy, celebrate her.
• Don't be upset if she ever wakes you up by 2am to help massage her feet. You need to feel little of her discomfort and pain. She shouldn't carry it alone, it's you both baby, you need to carry it together. (I don't mean physical carriage though).
• No rule book stopped sex during pregnancy; in short it's the best time. Do it. It's not like the vagina stopped working during pregnancy. Husbands continue the work that brings the pregnancy.
• Don't be ashamed to take her out. Take her out once in a while to those lovely places you used to go together. They love it...

Most times I wonder what crosses the heart of men when they see their pregnant wives. Carrying a child for 9 months isn't easy.

I urge all men to get closer to their spouses during pregnancy because that's one of the times she needs you most.

A big shout out to all men who fully stand by their wives during pregnancy.
