Some husbands do not know hard for us being pregnant...

Of course not every husband feels or act that way, when I was pregnant I was pampered and given attention because he knows about the discomforts I was going through. He doesn't need to be told on what to do because he anticipates my every need. I think it's a case to case basis, letting husbands participate in every phase of the pregnancy makes them aware of their responsibility and will be sensitive towards the needs of a pregnant woman. .

If i may add, i think husbands see household work as a piece of cake. When indeed and in fact, it is so difficult.

We can hope for all this but normally this does not happen.THat is why, it is the usual practice in our communities to keep the pregnant girl at her parents' place for childbirth and she comes back only after recuperating.[a minimum of 6 months--3 or 2 before and 3 or 4 later after delivery].

There are people that are very insensitive, thankfully I believe in reincarnation and how those who didn't care about will be women...

I totally agree with you. I think husbands at times don't understand what a wife may be going through when she is pregnant because he really can't experience it for himself. Still when others are sick we may have never experienced a certain sickness but we can sympathize with the person who is ill. A husband has to do the same with his wife while she is pregnant. It is a lot of work to and adjustments and he should show her love and appreciation for what she is doing and will do in the future.

Yes, I being a husband go with your words. A lot of care has to be given to the mother not only by the husband but by the entire family, after all the child belongs to the complete family. It is a new life for the mother

I can understand perfectly well what you are saying. There are many households where a pregnant lady is not given the love and care she deserves. At least some special treatment is given for the first pregnancy, but subsequent pregnancies are treated just as part of life. the lady has to do all household work, caring for family members and also outside work like going to grocers or market. It is never possible for men to feel what we women go thru those nine months but yes, a more helping and compassionate approach is definitely welcome.

I think most men are just careless. Of course they don't understand how difficult when we are pregnant. Such as it is not easy for us to sleep well since the big belly. And we can't walk fast and we will feel tired easily. Sometimes we will be emotional, too. And we have to be very careful to our diet since it will have an effect on our baby. I love China

Husbands should be helping hand in hand to raise the family and help his spouse. Same thing with the wife, she should be also a helping hand to husband. I am just thankful to God that my husband is very supportive and helpful during my pregnancy and even if I was not yet pregnant. During his off day he would do household chores such as cleaning the toilet, washing clothes, cooking etc. Even if I don't ask him to do it, he would initiate the cleaning and cooking. I would sometimes be surprise when I wake up, someone is already in the kitchen doing something and when I check he is already reorganizing things or decluttering the kitchen for me. He does take care of me and our soon to be baby. Whenever I feel my back heavy or such, I can ask him a favor easily, even that means he will be the one to cook the food and go to market to buy the ingredients, I don't hear any complaints. I just love my husband for being so understanding and helpful to me.

This is one of the most precious stage in my life being a wife and a mother. During my pregnancy i can say that my husband is very supportive and never think that i am just over acting. In my first pregnancy he was always there and even leave office to bring me to my ob-gyne for the check up. He's more excited than i am and even more nervous when i had my labor pains. I know some husband are not aware how hard it is for pregnant women to have all those inconvenience during those times. The morning sickness,the foods that we crave for...those things that we hate and even smell that we really throw up when we can not take the odor. But some husband are supportive and even caring

Husbands will often believe that their wives are just complaining when they tell them how hard it is to be pregnant. Not only does a woman's body go through so many changes, her emotions do as well. If the husband could experience everything from a pregnancy, he may have a different point of view about his wife's feelings.

When I was pregnant, I had "morning sickness" the whole 24 hours. I couldn't eat nor sleep. Sometimes, I would just sit on the bed and cry. My hubby ,who couldn't sleep because of my sobbing, would ask me what he could do to help. I would answer, "there's nothing that you can do." I guess I'm lucky my husband is considerate and caring but there are some things that he can't help with when I'm pregnant.

I am proud to say that when i was pregnant, my husband was so considerate of me. He would wash the dishes and cook when i am not feeling well. He assists me as i get up from bed. We walk in going to our respective offices then and he would really assist me while i walk. He would even accompany me in some of my prenatal visits. I guess, he knows how hard it is to be pregnant.

Well, I remember when my wife was pregnant, I know it's hard for them. I also know that she was not the kind of woman that would just sit and complain all day. She was energetic, even when she was pregnant. I did what I had to do to help. I know I would never want to go through that pain.
