Help! My Wife Is Pregnant!

You just found out your wife is pregnant. Your head is spinning, and you’re thinking “what do I do now?”

Well since you asked, I’ll tell you what you’re going to do now…

You’re going to walk up to your wife, look her in the eyes, and tell her that you love her, and that you’re going to be there for her.

That is the most important thing your wife needs to hear from you.

If already found out your wife is pregnant, and your reaction to her pregnancy wasn’t positive, stop reading this and apologize immediately! Getting her flowers and a box of chocolates wouldn’t hurt either.

Both you and your wife are in for some big changes, but it’s your wife that’s going to carry the baby to term. It’s her body that’s going to be changing over the next 40 weeks. She’s bound to have a few insecurities.

Regardless of what she says or does, there’s a strong chance that deep inside, she wonders what you’re really thinking. She wonders if you’re going to be supportive of her, no matter what.

Tell her that you will be.

There will be plenty of time for you to worry about how the pregnancy is going to affect your money, sex, work, house, car, or whatever. But right now, it’s time to give your wife a hug, tell her you love her, and tell her you’ll be there through the whole process. Let her know that for better or for worse, you’re in this together.

Trust me, she’ll love you for it.

    This is great. I would also add that we want to know that you are excited about it (if you really are excited. If not, then don’t say that you aren’t excited.) My husband actually did the crying the morning we found out. I think he was more excited than I was. He isn’t the one whose body has to do this.

    please understand that we arent trying to be emotional, or crabby, or sad, or mean. when you walk through the department store and she sees some cute little cowgirl outfit and starts sobbing, dont be embarrassed, she cant help it. when you ask her what she wants to eat for supper and she glares at you and says she is really sick to her stomach, and why cant you UNDERSTAND that, dont take it personally, give her a hug and tell her you are so sorry she isnt feeling well, and would she like a cracker or some lightly buttered noodles. When she starts bawling because she cant go to horse shows, understand that YOU can keep doing EVERYTHING you love to do, but that she needs to be careful and barrel racing probably isnt a good idea for her right now, and even though she is super excited about having your baby……………. she is still VERY disappointed that she cant race this year. Then offer to go on a trail ride with her, and she should cheer up. :)
