Baby on the way!!!

CONGRATS to you and your wife. I am so happy for the both of you. Try doing things that would make her relax. Rub her feet and back and remind her of how beautiful you think she is. If she is feeling better about herself then that will reduce the stress on the baby. Also let her know that many women are having babies at her age and older, that she should not be worrying about that detail. To be honest there was a post on here the other day about a women having a baby at the age of 67, so in comparison she is still a baby. LOL. As for her depression she needs to make sure she sees her doctor regularly to keep her emotions in balance. Also doing things like getting outside when the sun is shining and not staying locked in the house will help. Unless she has other health problems that you have not listed here then there is no reason that she should not be able to carry a health baby to full term. Best Wishes to all of you and good luck with being a new daddy round 2.

I think in this case you need to ease your wife by giving her hope's and physical support in order to make her feel relaxed,plus whatever worries she have in terms of medical complications can be solved by visiting good Docter who might give her guidance by examining her....! I have came across the same when my wife had miscarriage after first child.it was little tough but i was blessed to had a Beautiful,Healthy boy ...Good Luck

Congratulations to you and your wife. A child is always a blessing to the family. Certainly, a gift from God. I just feel sad that your wife is not happy about her pregnancy. Maybe she needs assurance that nothing will go wrong with her pregnancy and that could come from her doctor or from a person whom she truly trust like her best friend. Your daughter can also be a big help for giving comfort to her mom and tell her that she is always praying that her mom will be okay at all times especially now that she is carrying in her womb her little brother. she can also tell her mom that she will help her take care of little Jonas. Your wife can also join mylot and blog her blues away. will include you in my prayers, that you be given enough strength to support your wife all the way, especially emotionally and physically (financially, as well :) ), prayers for your wife that she will be granted serenity and courage in her present condition and also for her safe pregnancy, and also for your daughter and little Jonas, that they will grow to be a God loving, God fearing persons and responsible members of the society in the near future. i pray for lifelong happiness and lots of love within your family circle. God bless.

First of all, congratulations are in order for your upcoming new addition to your family. As far as your wife, I think one of the most important things that she can do is write a list of all the questions that she has regarding her health to ask the doctor. Once she has visited with her doctor I'm sure she will be more at ease and especially so if she is able to ask them about all of the things that are weighing on her mind. I'm sure that everything will be fine in the long run but right now your wife is just scared.

First, Congrats to both of you. I suggest consider therapy and counseling to your wife or talk it out,keep the lines of communication between you and your partner free and clear too. she need your support, which you can only give if you're open with her.tell her to take it easy, comfort her. There is a filipino belief that a pregnant mother who is depressed will give birth to an unhappy baby, but no proof about that. take care of your pregnant wife.Good luck.

hi.. i think.. your wfe needs you.. u need her to support,, physically and emotionally. in every aspect. just always make her feel that you are always there by her side that no matters what you are always there for her..

Congratulations to you and your wife. It is wonderful news that you are expecting a new baby. I am 37 years old and I have a 6 month old daughter. So I can say your wife isn't too old. Pregnancy might be an emotional time for her so some loving support to her from you will be ever so helpful. I have a toddler son and so it was really special to find out I was going to have a brother or sister for him. He loves his little sister. You could talk to your wife about other ladies in their late thirties having a baby boy or girl. Good luck to your family at this exciting time.

HI, congratulation!!! I have two children too but I have two girls. well, 38 is not old to have a child. have you taken her to see a doctor yet? sometimes, she doesn't feel right but when someone else such as a doctor tells her, that is ok to have a baby and nothing to worry about... I am sure she will be release from this stress... plus, doctor will do just about anything to help her get through this pregnancy. It is also include your help as well... you have to be there for her and tell her all the time who an new life would be and who will share all the happy with her and your family as well. It is hard for her to take it at the first time, but she will get use to it when she see someone love and care about her all the time

yeah correct! she should have a positive attitude considering that she is carrying a baby, and whatever she feels would affect the baby one way or another. i had my 2nd baby at the age of 30, my second baby delivered when i a was 39 years old. i delivered my baby normally. and to think i delivered her in a public hospital, knowing how public hospital works in our country, but still i brave myself. the point is she should have a happy attitude. science now-adays is so advance, giving birth at an "old age" in no longer a problem - tell her that. what is most important is her attitude while the baby is still in her womb, because the little life inside her is directly affected whatever she feels. do something like, invite your wife to go to a mall for a window shopping, to the part, museum, or beach - fresh air is good for her. feed her with healthy food, fruits, vegies, avoid colored juices just natural. young coconut water is best for pregnant, and pineapple fruit, i tried it with when i was pregnant, very good for the skin of the baby - its cleansing. lastly, do not allow her to watch sad movies, not so good pictures and stories. Good luck!

Always tell him positive stories..having a baby is a wonderful gift to every parent. you should pay attention to your wife's health and nutrition.It is recommended that she will take fresh fruits everyday and watch for a nutritious diet. You should consider the fact that she now brings another life that should also be nurture.Physicians advice is also recommended, better to see a doctor to watch her health...congratulations

Congratulations! Having a new baby is going to be a source of joy to family members, as babies always make us smile and happy. However, you have to convince your wife to have a positive attitude and frame of mind. Her age is just fine. She has to keep herself healthy for the sake of the baby. If not, it is going to have negative effects on the baby she is carrying.

Well let your wife know that the mind is very powerful and if she already goes into something thinking it will be negative it will be negative... Many women have had babies in their later 30's with no problems and with technology being what it is now.. the likelyhood of catching something at a time when it may be fixable is a very good percentage...I am not a doctor and by know means am I giving medical advice, however i would definitely stay active ith caution and just do exactly what the obgyn suggests for a woman of her age..Women are having children later and later in life so I think she will be just fine if she keeps her focus positive, and eats healthy!
