How do I deal with and manage my pregnant wife's moods and emotions?
Question:
Answers:
I hear you man. I am father of two and my wife was really special during pregnancy. What can I say? Find a space where you can blow out some steam. It doesn´t matter if it is during your work hours playing a tree minutes game of solitaire, take your mind apart and remember: It is only temporary. She´ll be back to some kind of normality, but it will be at least six months after the baby is born. Hormones don´t just afect her. They can change you too! Try to empathize with her. Understand why and how she feels. Don´t just patronize her. Picture in your mind the following mantra: "I am not going to be what you expect, but I will be the best I can, and that is good enough"

Just be patient. Remember what she's going through.
I know what you mean. Just keep remembering she won't be pregnant forever.
Just tell her you understand, and let her know sometimes she doesn't realize it. Help out is GREAT!
Give her more hugs and tell her you love her more often. Hold her more. Rub her back and feet more. She needs more emotional support more than anything right now. Do you have other children? Deal with them so she does'nt have to!! Bring her home her latest most favorite craving w/out her having to ask for it. NEver EVER let her think she's being "too emotional" that'll just piss her off more.
Millions of women get pregnant and have babies.
Miracle? Yes. A blessing? Yes.
A license to be a b-itch? Hell NO.
If it is really bad, maybe counseling would help. Or a support group of pregnant women. So she can feel she is not alone. Maybe she can get a bit of time off. I don't know your financial position, but if there is a way for her to even cut her hours a bit, that might help.
She needs to accept the changes (both physical and emotional) she is going through, and get them under control. AND you should clearly let her know you are being hurt by her attitude, especially if you are stepping up and trying to help her and giving her more attention.
Men are always expected to "work" on the relationship. Try to unravvel the mysteries of the woman. We should JUST know their needs. What I have learned is Men are much more stable-minded than most women will ever be, pregnant or not.
There is a saying , Men marry women hoping they will never change, AND women marry men hoping they can change them.
Who is wrong in that picture? DUH.
This site paints the picture quite well, even though I don't agree with all of it. http://www.nomarriage.com I think there are tons of great American Women out there. But my main beef is being put through the paces of "having" to figure them out. I like a woman to simply tell me what she wants. That way, I can put my energy into making her happy. And I expect the same in return.
Why play the woman's game, (you should just know what I am thinking) .? That game of "life" is NOT fun. Nor is it ever a winning situation.
my wife is not working and she is still tired. But she doesnt have mood swings, emotional outbreaks or is stressed, stress is also bad for the baby.
If she is working full time, tell her to have a relaxing bath and you could give her a massage after work. with her on one side especially the shoulders and lower back, where the stress on the back is the highest.
If she has a sedentry job, ask if she can telecommute even once a week to releive 1/5th of the commuting stress.
